“…Regardless, these individuals are still registered as rural residents of China. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of open-air pollutants at construction sites and road traffic [25] as well as to occupational pollutants in factories, significantly increase the risk of respiratory diseases, which may contribute to the regional differences in period trends. In recent years, the government has implemented some legislation and measures to monitor, control and prevent air pollution, such as the new national air quality monitoring network (including the additional indexes of PM 2.5 , CO, and O 3 ) projected in 2012.…”

Background: As lung cancer has shown a continuously increasing trend in many countries, it is essential to stay abreast of lung cancer mortality information and take informed actions with a theoretical basis derived from appropriate and practical statistical methods. Methods: Age-specific rates were collected by gender and region (urban/rural) and analysed with descriptive methods and age-period-cohort models to estimate the trends in lung cancer mortality in China from 1988 to 2013. Results: Descriptive analysis revealed that the age-specific mortality rates of lung cancer in rural residents increased markedly over the last three decades, and there was no obvious increase in urban residents. APC analysis showed that the lung cancer mortality rates significantly increased with age (20–84), rose slightly with the time period, and decreased with the cohort, except for the rural cohorts born during the early years (1909–1928). The trends in the patterns of the period and cohort effects showed marked disparities between the urban and rural residents. Conclusions: Lung cancer mortality remains serious and is likely to continue to rise in China. Some known measures are suggested to be decisive factors in mitigating lung cancer, such as environmental conservation, medical security, and tobacco control, which should be implemented more vigorously over the long term in China, especially in rural areas.

“…Chronic air pollution is also associated with hypertension (Pitchika et al, 2017) (Liu et al, 2016) cardiovascular diseases (Burroughs Pena and Rollins, 2017) (Brook et al, 2010) and respiratory issues (Moustris et al, 2016) (Tsangari et al, 2016). Other reports associate air pollution to cancer such as lung cancer (Chen et al, 2016) (Kanwal et al, 2017) (Raaschou-Nielsen et al, 2013 (Bidoli et al, 2016) (Pope et al, 2002), pediatric cancer (Ortega-Garcia et al, 2017) (Lavigne et al, 2017), breast cancer (Gonzales et al, 2017) (Keramatinia et al, 2016), liver cancer (Pedersen et al, 2017), kidney cancer (Raaschou-Nielsen et al, 2017), gastric cancer (Chiu et al, 2011), and an elevated risk of cancer in various other digestive accessory organs (Wong et al, 2016). It was also reported that airborne particles induce important changes in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and psoriatic skin disease-related genes, leading to potential dysfunction of the human epidermis (Kim et al, 2017).…”

High levels of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere and toxic pollutants in the air, water and food have serious repercussions on all life's systems, including living beings, environment and economy. Everyone on the Earth is concerned by pollution in some way or another, no matter where and how the pollution is produced as airborne and foodborne pollutants could circulate around the world in different ways, through for example climate components (wind, rain) and/or import and export of foodstuffs. Similarly to living beings that take advantage of day-night circadian rhythms to recover after diurnal hardships, the environment in its entirety could also be seen as a complex living system that needs regular breaks to assimilate or ingest toxic pollutants produced during intensive and continuous industrial processes. If greenhouses gas emissions and pollution rates continue to increase at the same rates as they are nowadays, uncontrollable climate effects might be inevitable and the air quality in some crowded cities in the world might be hardly respirable in the future. A global "Clean Environmental Week" is discussed as an attempt toward reducing air pollution and CO2 emissions through the interruption or reduction of industrial polluting activities regularly, for a week or so per year, to let the nature 'breathe' and recover from environmentally challenging pollutions. A clean environmental period of 10 days per year could reduce CO2 emissions by about one billion tons of CO2 per annum
