Abstract
Abstract
This retrospective cohort study investigates the impact of an oil refinery on the incidence of lung cancer in Homs, Syria. The study compares the occurrence of lung cancer in Homs, where an oil refinery releases toxic gases, with the nearby city of Hama, which lacks such air pollution. The results reveal a higher incidence of lung cancer in Homs, indicating a potential association between exposure to refinery gases and lung cancer. The study emphasizes the importance of environmental monitoring and public health measures to mitigate the impact of air pollution on human health.
