Abstract
Data from 10,590 participants indicates significant associations between (PM) exposure, , and cancer incidence.
- Long-term exposure to air pollutants, particularly PM, is linked to increased cancer risk.
- Diabetes may act as a mediator in the relationship between PM exposure and cancer development.
- Significant direct effects of PM on cancer incidence were confirmed through statistical analysis.
- Conditional independence tests support the interaction between diabetes and PM in influencing cancer risk.
- Specific air pollutants, including ammonium and nitrate, also show associations with cancer incidence.
