Statistical studies of mortality and air pollution. Multiple regression analyses by cause of death

The Science of the Total Environment
F W Lipfert

Abstract

Multiple regression analyses are presented relating community air quality, socioeconomic variables, and mortality rates for all cancers, respiratory system cancer, respiratory disease, and external causes, for U.S. cities for 1969-1971. Socioeconomic variables included an index of cigarette smoking (by state), which was usually highly significant. Most air pollution variables were not significant, however, with the exception of the trace metal manganese, which was associated with cancers and respiratory disease. Because of the low ambient concentrations in this study, it is likely that manganese is serving as a surrogate for some other effect, such as occupational influences for example.

Cancer Incidence & Mortality

Cancer has emerged as a global concern due to its increase in incidence and mortality. Efforts are underway to evaluate and develop action plans to reduce the global burden of cancer. Currently, lung cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer are the leading causes of cancer mortality. Here is the latest research on cancer incidence and mortality.
