中国工程院院士钟南山最近在接受媒体采访时表示,PM2.5不仅会致肺癌,还会造成心肺的整体损害。钟南山称,PM2.5水平与肺癌发病率和死亡率呈正相关。此项研究在欧美发达国家已做了将近二十年,显示PM2.5每升高10微克/立方米,肺癌的死亡率上升17%~25%。世界卫生组织近期发表的一项研究结果还认为,雾霾与 Zhong Nanshan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, recently said in an interview with the media that PM2.5 not only causes lung cancer but also causes overall damage to the heart and lung. Zhong Nanshan said PM2.5 levels and lung cancer incidence and mortality were positively correlated. The study has been done in developed countries in Europe and the United States for nearly two decades, showing an increase of 10 micrograms / cubic meter for PM2.5 and an increase of 17% -25% in lung cancer mortality. A recent study published by the World Health Organization also concluded that smog and haze should not be neglected
