Lung Cancer
Sir, —The chairman-elect of the Wellington division of the New Zealand branch of the British Empire Cancer Campaign Society (Mr O’Regan) accounted for the difference in death rate for lung cancer between Idaho and New York by industrialisation and urbanisation. Is it not indicated that cities bent upon industrialisation, as is Christchurch, should rather emulate Idaho? If in English towns the number of lung cancer deaths increases in proportion to the population, atmosphere pollution appears a culprit. In America in many areas air pollution is reduced and in rural districts also women’s organisations are actively combating it in all forms.—Yours, etc., CLEAN BREATH. September 21, 1958.
