New study suggests a surprising link between air pollution and reduced melanoma risk, but experts caution against the severe health risks of pollution.

A recent study suggests that higher levels of air pollution particulates (PM10 and PM2.5) may be linked to a reduced risk of melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. However, the study's observational design and limited scope mean it cannot prove causation. While the findings are intriguing, the severe health risks associated with air pollution, such as respiratory diseases and heart problems, far outweigh any potential protective effects. Experts emphasize the importance of clean air and proper sun protection.
