ABSTRACT

Air pollution causes millions of deaths every year, making it a serious global health concern. Its effects go beyond respiratory problems; it has a significant impact on cancer outcomes and cardiovascular health. Cancer patients, who are especially susceptible to the cardiovascular effects of contaminated air, face additional risks, according to recent studies. The incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases among cancer patients have been linked to exposure to fine particulate matter (PM?.?), which exacerbates health disparities. With a focus on the ways that pollutants worsen cardiovascular conditions in cancer patients, this review explores the complex relationship between air pollution, cardiovascular diseases, and oncology. In order to reduce these compounded risks, it also promotes preventive measures and talks about the implications for public health.
