Environmental Carcinogen Lawsuit
Exposure to airborne metal particles

A recent ecological study in Dallas, Texas, found that exposure to what may be a potential carcinogen--airborne fine particles of metal, particularly zinc--may contribute to the development of lung cancer.

The study compared lung cancer rates with industrial release of metals, zinc and chromium. Researches found that the industrial release of those particles had a positive association with the disease.

The findings are considered to be a first step toward determining whether the association does in fact exist between metal particles and lung cancer.

The study, "AN Ecological Study of the Association of Metal Air Pollutants with Lung Cancer Incidence in Texas," by Coyle YM et al, appears in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology, 2006.
