Residential greenness, air pollution, genetic predisposition and the risk of lung cancer
Increased residential greenness was linearly associated with reduced risk of lung cancer, particularly adenocarcinoma, and such an association may be substantially mediated by mitigating air pollutants, especially PM<sub>2.5</sub> and increased physical activity. The study provides promising evidence and strategy of improving greenness during urbanization to reduce the risk of lung adenocarcinoma in the context of the grimmer trend of rapidly increasing risk of adenocarcinoma.
