“…Lung cancer is preventable and awareness regarding risk factors (i.e. active and passive smoking, a variety of occupational agents and indoor and outdoor air pollution) along with behavior modifications are key strategies in lung cancer prevention [12]. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected all these activities, but awareness can be continued using the various platforms for online education.…”

“…It is responsible for the highest number of either new cases or deaths, approximately 11.6% and 18.4% of the total, respectively [15]. So far, while smoking or consumption of tobacco products is the main cause of lung cancer that accounts for about 90% of cases; other risk factors, including environmental and occupational exposure, might contribute to the etiology of lung cancer [16,17]. As mentioned above, PM2.5 easily penetrates deeper into the lungs or bronchi alveoli and persistently remains in these areas due to its extremely small size.…”

“…Moreover, the cancer of the lung and bronchus accounts for 27% of all cancer deaths and is the most common cause of cancer death in both sexes, men and women [1][2]. Lung cancer is a multifactorial disease with many risk factors [3]. Genetic, environmental and occupational factors, particularly, exposure to tobacco, non-ionizing and ionizing radiation, chemicals (asbestos, dioxins, metals, etc.…”

“…Genetic, environmental and occupational factors, particularly, exposure to tobacco, non-ionizing and ionizing radiation, chemicals (asbestos, dioxins, metals, etc. ), and industrial emissions are all high risk factors in lung cancer development [3]. Of all lung cancer types, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for the highest number of lung cancer death [1][2][3].…”
