    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.
