Idk, I used to cycle to work a lot before changing jobs, and I’ve got to tell you, the fumes I felt in my throat were more noticeable than anything I’ve ever experienced in my car. Plus when exercising you simply breathe more.
You’re using your personal experiences to validate a broad generalization regarding the effects of air pollution on rates of lung cancer for the population of an entire country; this is wrong. Your sample size is one and your argument is “I felt the fumes in my throat more when cycling then compared to when I was in a car; therefore it must be cancer”. I appreciate that you actually had somewhat of a baseline, but your self experiment essentially tells you that exhaust fumes hurt your throat [full stop].
Too bad for the lung cancer
People who regularly cycle live longer than people who don’t.

Pretty cool study. Shame its so small of a sample size, but it shows some very positive signs.

That just prove how much we are accustomed to the polluted air in our cars, and not to the less but still polluted air outside.
