"Characterization of residential proximity to sources of environmental carcinogens in clusters of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in San Luis Potosi, Mexico"

CONCLUSIONS: This study has a limited source and amount of available data on ALL cases, so selection bias is present as well as the inability to rule out residual confounding factors, since covariates were not included. However, in this study, children living in environments with high vehicular density, gas stations, brick kilns, incinerators, commercial establishments burning biomass, or near industrial zones may be at higher risk for ALL.PMID:38555983 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2024.118790
