Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are widespread environmental pollutants and known human lung carcinogens. Vehicular traffic is a major ambient source of PAH exposure. Our study aim was to evaluate the association between residential exposure to vehicular traffic and breast cancer incidence. We observed positive associations between vehicular traffic-related benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) exposure and breast cancer incidence among women with comparatively high long-term traffic B[a]P exposures, although effect estimates were imprecise.
