为了评估空气污染物对呼吸道肿瘤发病率的可能影响，我们研究了观察到空气污染的圣保罗市12个区。我们收集了1981-1990年的污染物数据，并将其与1997年喉部和肺部肿瘤的发病率联系起来。臭氧是与肿瘤发生最相关的污染物。肺癌和喉癌的相关系数分别为0.7234 （p = 0.277）和0.9929 （p = 0.007）。空气污染与呼吸道肿瘤的发生可能有一定的关系。然而，这项研究并不能让我们得出因果关系的结论。
To evaluate the possible influence of air pollutants on the incidence of respiratory tract neoplasm we studied 12 Sao Paulo City districts where air pollution is observed. We collected data on pollutants from 1981-1990 and correlated it with the incidence of larynx and lung neoplasms in 1997. Ozone was the pollutant that best correlated with the incidence of neoplasm. The correlation coefficients were 0.7234 (p = 0.277) and 0.9929 (p = 0.007) for lung and larynx cancer, respectively. There may be a relationship between air pollution and the incidence of respiratory tract neoplasm. This study, however, does not allow us to conclude that there is a causal relationship.
