China faces drastic lung cancer growth

China is facing a rapid increase in lung cancer cases over the past 1015 years, viewing polluted air as one of the culprits for the situation, the China Daily reported, citing medical officials.

Experts at the Chinese Academy for Medical Science have said that the number of lung cancer cases is increasing dramatically, including those who do not smoke.

In China, it is considered to be about 300 million tobacco users, but the report shows how developing lung cancer is not about the effects of tobacco.

China faces remarkable levels of polluted air, until even various organizations in the world have called on this country to take measures.

According to a study published this year, a scientific magazine of Great Britain reportedly China will be able to prevent the premature death of 3 million people if it is to adhere to the World Health Organization's guidelines for raising air quality.

According to recent data, there have been some 4.3 million new cancer patients in China during 2015 alone, including 730,000 lung cancer patients. /Rel/
