Pollution makes cancer the top killer

This title is not the warning from an international association regarding China, it is the official statement of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, released today in China Daily.

What I am explaining on this blog for months now is also publicly stated by Chinese Government. Here is just an extract of the article:
"Air pollution is a major cause of lung cancers, as harmful granules enter the lungs and cannot be discharged. Large amounts of formaldehyde and its compounds used in house renovations and furniture has been blamed for deterioration in air quality."

Unfortunately, the only data published is that cancer is the highest cause of death. So we do not know in detail how many deaths are caused by cancer only, and on this amount, how many are caused by pollution.
