    Air pollution is linked to approximately 4.2 million deaths annually, with significant impacts on life expectancy and cancer risk.

  • 2

    Long-term exposure to air pollution is increasingly associated with breast cancer development, necessitating a multi-pollutant approach.

  • 3

    Traditional regression models often fail to capture the combined effects of multiple air pollutants on breast cancer risk.

  • 4

    Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) and quantile G-computation (QGC) methods effectively assess the joint impact of air pollutants.

  • 5

    The study aims to evaluate the overall mixture effect of seven air pollutants on breast cancer risk using advanced statistical methods.
