Impacts of High Concentration, Medium Duration Coal Mine Fire Related PM on Cancer Incidence: 5-Year Follow-Up of the Hazelwood Health Study

No studies have investigated the cancer outcomes from high level medium duration coal mine fire fine particulate matter ⩽2.5 µm in diameter (PM 2.5 ) exposure. We included 2208 Morwell residents (exposed) and 646 Sale residents (unexposed) who participated in the Hazelwood Health Study Adult Survey....
