Outdoor particulate matter exposure and lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Nearly all China's rural residents and a shrinking fraction of urban residents use solid fuels (biomass and coal) for household cooking and/or heating. Consequently, global meta-analyses of epidemiologic studies indicate that indoor air pollution from solid fuel use in China is responsible for approximately 4...
