Eric Topol highlights a Nature Health study: long-term exposure to PM2.5, ozone, and NO2 is associated with increased cancer risk. Globally, PM2.5 accounts for 8.82 million cases, ozone 2.59 million, and NO2 6.67 million. Each 10 μg/m³ increase raises all-cancer risk by 16.0%, 4.23%, and 11.7% respectively.
