Air Pollution Linked To Lung Cancer-Driving DNA Mutations, Study Finds
The Guardian | A global study has found that air pollution is linked to lung cancer-driving DNA mutations in people who have never smoked, particularly mutations in the TP53 gene commonly associated with tobacco use. As smoking declines, air pollution is emerging as a major contributor to lung cancer, especially adenocarcinoma, underscoring a growing global health crisis.

Extreme Heat Worsens Air Pollution Health Risks
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health | Experts warn that climate change is intensifying the health impacts of air pollution, as extreme heat traps polluted air and wildfire smoke worsens air quality. Combined, these threats elevate risks for cardiovascular, respiratory, and mental health issues, while policy rollbacks and funding cuts hinder critical research into protective measures.
