Spatial association of surface water quality and human cancer in China

Z. Wang, W. Gu, et al.

This groundbreaking study by Zixing Wang and colleagues reveals a striking connection between surface water quality and cancer incidence in China. By examining nationwide data, researchers found a clear 'dose-response' relationship, showcasing the crucial influence of high pollutant levels on cancer rates. Their findings underscore the urgent need for effective strategies to tackle this pressing issue.

Abstract
This study investigated the spatial association between surface water quality and cancer incidence in China using nationwide water monitoring and population-level cancer data. A "dose-response" relationship was observed between the number of pollutants at high levels and cancer incidence, suggesting surface water quality is a significant factor in cancer incidence. The study highlights the complex effects of multiple pollutants and points to strategies for addressing this challenge.
