Abstract
It is estimated that about 2.4 billion people around the world use traditional biomass fuels for household cooking or heating. Biomass fuel emissions were categorized as group 2A carcinogen due to epidemiological limitations. Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Smoking is the major risk factor; still 25% cases of lung cancer are non-smoker (more prevalent in female). In this review, we had reviewed the epidemiological evidence of biomass fuel exposure in females as a risk factor for lung cancer.
