Keywords: air pollution; chronic disease; particulate matter EN air pollution chronic disease particulate matter 1200 1203 4 09/01/22 20220901 NES 220901 Sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) is a benign tumor with a propensity for malignant transformation in 5% to 7% of cases.1 Although its pathogenesis remains uncertain, recent epidemiologic studies have implicated environmental and occupational exposures, such as organic solvents and welding fumes as potential contributors to IP.2-4 A meta-analysis has showed that occupational exposure would increase the risk of developing sinonasal cancer.5 Sham et al performed a case-control study on patients with IP and reported a higher incidence with outdoor occupations, such as construction.4 They concluded this higher incidence is likely due to outdoor air pollution, but this effect has not been directly studied. Air pollution, chronic disease, particulate matter Further research into the effects of air pollution, including particulate matter, ozone, and NO SB 2 sb , is warranted, especially in locations with a wider range of air pollution.
