A bit off topic: but what I’ve asked myself since I’m biking through town daily. Is there an increased lung cancer risk for city bikers with all the car traffic out there?
- abyssin 7y agoYes there is, but it is statistically countered by the benefits of physical exercise that cycling provides. Car drivers are also exposed to pollution, although they don't breathe as heavily.
- kwohlfahrt 7y agoThe BBC did a video a few weeks back showing that you're exposed to more pollution in a car: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-south-yorkshire-49960950/how-do-you-breathe-less-pollution-on-school-run https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-south-yorkshire-499... Not sure how that translates to cancer risk but came as a surprise to me.
