An international team of scientists, led by NTU Singapore, has linked increased air pollution to an uptick in cases of lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) worldwide. Black carbon is a pollutant that is classified as under PM 2.5. Our findings pinpoint the necessity and urgency to reduce air pollutant emissions especially black carbon.
