Global, regional, and national burden of tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer attributable to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons occupational expose from 1990 to 2021: worsening or improving?
Analysis highlights worsening lung cancer impacts from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons occupational exposure, suggesting urgent public health interventions are needed.
Key Points
Lung cancer is significantly influenced by occupational exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, necessitating urgent action.
Public health interventions could alleviate associated health risks and economic burdens in high-medium SDI regions.
Recent data from 1990 to 2021 indicate worsening trends in lung cancer attributable to these exposures.
This underscores the necessity for targeted measures to mitigate occupational exposure risks.
