Will walking 4 hours a day delivering by traffic cause lung cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily : Causes or aggravation of lung cancer may include breathing polluted air, but I suspect different lung conditions than cancer would result from highly polluted area. You should exercise outside, but wear a good mask is you are concerned. Smoking tobacco would be worse.
