A study conducted by researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, has found a link between short-term exposure to ambient ozone (O3) and increased cancer mortality in Brazil. The study analyzed over 3 million cancer death records from Brazilian municipalities between 2000 and 2019 and found a linear and non-threshold exposure-response relationship between ozone exposure and cancer mortality. Kidney cancer was found to be most strongly associated with ozone exposure, followed by cancers of the prostate, stomach, breast, lymphoma, brain, and lung. The study suggests that specific measures should be taken to mitigate ozone exposure in cancer care recommendations. [Extracted from the article] |
