In a short review the relations known between general air pollution and the occurrence of lung cancer are analyzed. There is a great number of circumstances arousing suspicion of a causal connection, nevertheless, they do not prove anything. In no case general air pollution is responsible for more than 20% of all cases of lung cancer, and even this seems probably to be too high an estimation.
