“…Smoking history [ 18 , 19 ], indoor cooking [ 20 , 21 ], air pollution exposure (e.g., PM2.5) [ 22 , 23 ], and exposure to toxic chemicals (e.g., radon, asbestos, and arsenic) [ 24 , 25 ] have been reported as key factors in the incidence of NSCLC. However, except for the smoking history discussed broadly in several research [ [26] , [27] , [28] ] and this study, other factors are challenging to quantify at the level of a certain individual, which made it difficult to accurately determine the correlation and potential mechanisms between geographic or environmental factors and certain types of gene mutations. In the future, larger cohorts and better consideration of patient information collection may make systematic analysis possible.…”
