First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looks at how air pollution particles get into the bodies of non-smokers with lung cancer, COPD, or leukemia, and compares them to healthy volunteers. Researchers will use advanced microscopes and chemical tests to find these particles in blood and tissue samples. The goal is to better understand how pollution causes disease and to develop new tools to detect or slow down these illnesses.
