Air Pollution Fuels Rise in Cancer Cases, Warns Oncologist

Doctors are noticing more cancer cases in India, and a big reason is air pollution, like the smog in cities and smoke in homes.

This is different from what usually causes cancer, like smoking.

Air pollution has been linked to more than a quarter of all lung cancer deaths around the world.

What's concerning is that even people who don't smoke, including women and young people, are getting cancer because of the polluted air.

Doctors say that the bad air enters lungs and can damage your body.

With the holiday season and the colder months approaching, the risk may increase in the Delhi-NCR region.
