Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Air Pollution Linked to Rising Lung Cancer Cases in the UK
Caption: Air Pollution Linked to Rising Lung Cancer Cases in the UK. New research has found that over 1,100 people in the UK develop lung cancer each year due to air pollution, with the most common subtype, adenocarcinoma, linked to toxic air exposure. The WHO’s cancer agency reports that UK rates of this pollution-related cancer are higher than in the US and Canada and four times higher than in Finland. Health experts call the findings “devastating”, urging immediate government action. With lung cancer remaining the world’s leading cause of cancer deaths, scientists warn that shifting patterns in cancer subtypes make tackling pollution more urgent than ever.
