Unit 5参考译文Text A空气中什么引起肺癌?许多人认为空气污染能会导致癌症,但是到目前为止仍缺少证据。
上个月,世界卫生组织的癌症分支—国际癌症研究会声称,空气污染是一种致癌因素。
尽管医生和其他人长期凭直觉地认为差的空气质量和恶性肿瘤有关系,但是几乎没有科学组织官方地承认这种关系。
也就是说,证据不足。
致癌因素这个新的名称是以发表在《柳叶刀肿瘤学》杂志上的大量分析资料为基础的。
“ESCAPE”(空气污染效应的欧洲队列研究)试验从九个欧洲国家中对312000余人进行了历时12年之久的随访登记资料中得到数据。
调查者用了几个模型来评估空气中颗粒的大小、类型、密度或者交通方式与肺癌患病的可能性之间的关系。
他们检查了可能混淆数据的社会和经济因素,比如每人的水果消费量、年龄、性别和教育水平,并且评估了吸烟习惯。
在研究群体中一共出现了2095例肺癌患者。
调查者发现,从一个人居所周围抽样得到的空气中颗粒物质的数量和患肺癌的可能性有明显的正相关。
他们还发现,一个人家周围的道路交通车流量和患肺癌的几率有较弱但是有统计学意义的关联。
哥伦比亚大学环境卫生科学的教授Regina Santella说:“这是一个很重要的陈述/观点?”。
她认为,国际癌症研究机构决定的不寻常之处是,它指的是总体的空气污染,而不是特指一种具体的化学物质或者毒素,“这样公众容易理解”。
Santella说:“确切地讲,空气中的物质每天都会变化,在同一城市和邻里之间它都会不同”。
这是一个复杂的问题,因为空气污染包括大量的化合物。
潜在的有害化学物质从城市里汽车、卡车、工业厂房和农村地区燃烧的树叶以及其他来源进入空气。
污染物不仅仅因化学成分而不同,也区别于他们的大小和进入下呼吸道的能力。
“比如,你可能想了解那些直径小于2.5微米的颗粒。
这些空气传播的微小物质是导致健康问题的主要因素,” Santella 如是说。
美国毒理学项目目前没有把空气污染列入肺癌和其他癌症的病因。
