Abstract
Exposures to fine particulate matter (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) concentrations above the WHO guidelines affect 99% of the world population. In a recent issue of Nature, Hill et al. dissect the tumor promotion paradigm orchestrated by PM<sub>2.5</sub> inhalation exposures in lung carcinogenesis, supporting the hypothesis that PM<sub>2.5</sub> can increase your risk of lung carcinoma without ever smoking.
