Abstract
Notice of Retraction
After careful and considered review of the content of this paper by a duly constituted expert committee, this paper has been found to be in violation of IEEE´s Publication Principles.
We hereby retract the content of this paper. Reasonable effort should be made to remove all past references to this paper.
The presenting author of this paper has the option to appeal this decision by contacting TPII@ieee.org.
This paper analyzes data of PM10 concentration and death toll from cancer in Nanning, China, and reveals that the monthly death toll from cancer has statistically significant correlation with the monthly PM10 concentration, and the daily death toll from cancer has statistically significant correlation with the PM10 concentration of lead-time. The death toll from cancer has less obvious correlation with the PM10 concentration in spring than those in summer and autumn. The results of this paper suggest that some causal relationship between air pollution and cancer is possible.
