Perinatal exposure to ambient fine particle air pollution and risk of childhood ewing sarcoma in a population-based case-control study in California (1988–2015)
Our results provide new suggestive evidence that ambient PM<sub>2.5</sub> may contribute to Ewing sarcoma risk, although these findings were not statistically significant and were specific to Hispanic children. These findings require replication and underscore the need to further evaluate the potential role of ethnicity in the PM<sub>2.5</sub>-cancer relationship with genetic ancestry measures and through the lens of environmental justice.
