Evaluating the causal links between long-term exposure to artificial light at night and lung cancer mortality based on the Pearl River Cohort Study with 0.5 million participants
Artificial light at night (LAN) pollution is a growing public health concern. However, there has been limited epidemiological research on the LAN-lung cancer mortality links. Evidence from large cohorts and causal inference approaches is far more limited. We included 476,328 individuals from 35 randomly selected communities in southern China. A satellite-based approach was used to assess LAN exposure, which was assigned to participants based on t…

The risk of injuries during work and its association with precipitation
Background Injuries during work are often exogenous and can be easily influenced by environmental factors, especially weather conditions. Precipitation, a crucial weather factor, has been linked to unintentional injuries, yet evidence of its effect on work-related injuries is limited. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the impact of precipitation on injuries during work as well as its variation across numerous vulnerability features. Methods Records …
The impact of monthly air pollution exposure and its interaction with individual factors
Background Although the association between short-term air pollution exposure and certain hospitalizations has been well documented, evidence on the effect of longer-term (e. g., monthly) air pollution on a comprehensive set of outcomes is still limited. Method A total of 68,416 people in South China were enrolled and followed up during 2019–2020. Monthly air pollution level was estimated using a validated ordinary Kriging method and assigned to …
