Associations between long-term exposure to fine particulate matter and its constituents with lung cancer incidence: Evidence from a prospective cohort study in Beijing, China
Association between long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and lung cancer incidence is well-documented. However, the role of different PM2.5 constituents [black carbon (BC), ammonium (NH4+), nitrate (NO3−), organic matter (OM), and inorganic sulfate (SO42−)] remain unclear. The study aimed to specify the associations between PM2.5 constituents and lung cancer incidence. Based on a prospective cohort of 130,860 participants in Beijing, the present study utilized Cox model to explore the associations between PM2.5 constituents and lung cancer incidence. We further used mixed exposure models [weighted quantile sum (WQS) and quantile-based g-computation (Qgcomp)] and machine learning model [random forest model with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP)] to specify the importance of each constituent. Results indicated that PM2.5 mass and its constituents were significantly associated with increased lung cancer incidence. The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of 1-μg/m3 increase in the 5-year average concentrations were 1.01 (95% CI: 1.00, 1.02) for PM2.5 mass, 1.23 (95% CI: 1.06, 1.42) for BC, 1.15 (95% CI: 1.04, 1.27) for NH4+, 1.08 (95% CI: 1.02, 1.16) for NO3−, 1.04 (95% CI: 1.01, 1.06) for OM, and 1.08 (95% CI: 1.03, 1.15) for SO42−. Both the WQS and Qgcomp models assigned the two highest positive weights to BC and SO42−. SHAP analysis identified SO42− and BC as the first and third most important contributors, respectively. Our results indicated that PM2.5 mass and its constituents were significantly associated with lung cancer incidence, and BC and SO42- were the key constituents in these associations.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
