*[Enwl-eng] Lung cancer is attacking non-smokers - possibly from air pollution

                        Air pollution is deadly. We need more research to 
understand and combat it.









                        Air Pollution Is Linked to Deadly New Pattern of 
Lung Cancer, Even in People Who Never Smoked

                        Lung cancer has long been associated with smoking. 
But now, shocking new research is revealing a terrifying trend: more and 
more non-smokers are being diagnosed with this deadly disease.

                        Experts warn that air pollution could be a major 
culprit, yet we still lack the full picture. We desperately, urgently need 
more research.

                        Lung cancer is already the leading cause of cancer 
deaths worldwide, and it's only getting worse. Studies show that lung cancer 
in people who have never smoked is now the fifth highest cause of 
cancer-related deaths. In 2022 alone, a staggering 200,000 cases of one 
particularly aggressive form of lung cancer — adenocarcinoma — were directly 
linked to air pollution. Scientists fear this number will continue to rise 
as pollution worsens across the globe.

                        Many of these individuals never had a choice. They 
never picked up a cigarette. They never engaged in any known risky behavior. 
And yet, they are still fighting for their lives anyway.

                        Non-smokers who develop this disease may not even 
know they are at risk. As a result, they are diagnosed too late — when 
survival chances are grimmer.

                        Sign the petition to ask for urgent research into 
the direct link between air pollution and lung cancer in non-smokers and 
strong international policies to reduce air pollution and protect public 
health!
