DOIAbstract
Background There is scant information as to whether traffic-related air pollution is associated with the incidence of breast cancer. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ultrafine particles (UFPs, <0.1 µm), are two pollutants that capture intra-urban variations in traffic-related air pollution and may also be associated with incidence. Methods We conducted a population-based, case-control study of street-level concentrations of NO2 and UFPs and incident postmenopausal breast cancer in Montreal, Canada. Incident cases were identifie
