“…Evidence has been provided on air pollutant’s ability to directly irritate airway epithelium and cause oxidative stress and inflammation, underlying the development or progression of respiratory diseases, including lung cancer [ 14 , 15 ]. In addition, air pollutants may reach the gastrointestinal tract through the muco-ciliary clearance of inhaled pollutants or the intake of contaminated food and water [ 14 ].…”

Recently, growing attention has focused on the impact of air pollution on gut microbiota as a possible mechanism by which air pollutant exposure increased the risk for chronic diseases, as evidenced by in-vivo studies demonstrating important exposure-induced alterations in the diversity and relative abundance of gut bacterial taxa. This systematic review provides updated state-of-art findings of studies examining the impact of air pollution on the human gut microbiota. Databases PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched with the following strategy: “air poll*” AND “gut micro*” OR “intestinal micro*”; moreover, a total of 10 studies were included. Overall, there is the evidence that short-term and long-term exposure to air pollutants have the potential to alter the composition and diversity of gut microbiota; some studies also correlated air pollution exposure to adverse health effects (impaired fasting glucose, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and asthma attacks) via alterations in the composition and/or function of the gut microbiota. However, the evidence on this topic is still scarce, and large cohort studies are needed globally.

“…Similarly, Sotiriou et al [ 21 ] reported that most aerosols were below 0.5 μm by using the portable particle counter (Model CI550, Climet Instrument Co., Redlands, CA, USA) to continuously measure aerosol concentrations under drilling dental treatment for five working days. Research has shown that fine particles are more infectious [ 22 ] and may contain heavy metals [ 23 ], as well as pathogenic microorganisms [ 24 ], as they are small enough to penetrate the alveolar area of the body and enter the bloodstream [ 25 , 26 ]. Fine particles can be suspended in air for a long time and over long distances [ 27 , 28 ].…”

“…In 2017, 0.36% of overall disability-adjusted life years and 0.46% of all deaths were attributable to household SHS exposure in the 28 European Union countries [ 5 ]. As with firsthand smoking, a link between SHS and lung cancer has been demonstrated [ 6 ]. Besides cancer, the respiratory tract exposed to SHS becomes more susceptible to other disorders [ 7 ].…”

Secondhand smoke (SHS), composed of mainstream and sidestream smoke, is a known human carcinogen. It contains a variety of harmful substances at even higher concentrations than mainstream smoke itself, which is inhaled during firsthand smoking. Exposure to SHS, affecting more than a third of the worldwide population, increases the likelihood of lung cancer by roughly 30%, with specific contributions depending on the histological type of cancer. This study aimed to present the harmful potential of SHS through case reports and describe the burden of SHS via a literature review. From a collection of lung cancer case reports occurring in never smokers from the Olomouc district over the last 10 years, 2 cases with no risk factors for lung cancer except for significant exposure to SHS were identified. Both cases were of young women who lived in households where their parents smoked during childhood. They suffered from rarer histological types of lung cancer in which the association with SHS has not yet been analyzed. As the literature confirms, SHS has the most adverse effects in individuals exposed during childhood. It is necessary to both take measures to reduce the prevalence of SHS, especially among children in households and pay due attention to the smoking history of patients, including current and previous exposure to SHS, when obtaining anamnestic data. Furthermore, the effect of SHS on rarer histological types of lung cancer should be studied.
