However, an updated and comprehensive assessment of lung cancer burden attributable to PM<sub>2.5</sub> remains limited. We evaluated the deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR), and age-standardized DALY rate (ASDR) of lung cancer attributable to total, ambient, and household PM<sub>2.5</sub> at the global, regional, and national levels, using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 1990–2021 data. The estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) was used to analyze the trends in the ASMR and ASDR. Age, sex, and the socio-demographic index (SDI) were considered. In 2021, PM<sub>2.5</sub> exposure accounted for approximately 0.37 million deaths and 8.9 million DALYs of lung cancer. East Asia had the highest lung cancer burden attributable to total PM<sub>2.5</sub>. From 1990 to 2021, the global lung cancer burden attributable to both total PM<sub>2.5</sub> and household PM<sub>2.5</sub> decreased, whereas that attributable to ambient PM<sub>2.5</sub> increased. Furthermore, the ASDR/ASMR attributable to ambient PM<sub>2.5</sub> were positively related to the SDI, whereas those attributable to household PM<sub>2.5</sub> were negatively related. Global lung cancer deaths and DALYs attributable to ambient PM<sub>2.5</sub> are expected to rise continuously up to 2045.

These approaches were mechanochemical activation, micro- and nano-bubble activation, bioremediation, electrokinetic remediation, etc. Notably, the coupling use of surfactants that are environmentally friendly and recyclable in the remediation process was also critical.

In addition, a resilient strategy is applied, and a Fuzzy Robust Stochastic model incorporating Conditional Value at Risk (FRS-CVaR) is proposed to enhance the overall resilience and robustness of the supply chain network. To solve the proposed model, an improved NSGA-II is developed by applying an initialization strategy to enhance the quality of initial solutions, incorporating an adaptive evolutionary strategy to accelerate convergence while maintaining population diversity, and use elite retention strategy to avoid inferior regions. The deterministic model and the FRS-CVaR model are solved using Gurobi, NSGA-II, and the improved NSGA-II, respectively.

A random sample of 88 sugar beet farms was selected for data collection.
