Answers:
There are many mechanisms whereby pollutants can cause cancer!.

For example, particulates in air pollution induce an inflammatory response in the lungs as well as systemically (throughout the body)!. Chronic inflammation is a major contributor to the process of carcinogenesis!.

Chemical pollutants (including those in air pollution) can cause cancer by binding to DNA (forming a "DNA-Adduct")!. If this DNA-Adduct is not removed and properly repaired by your cells DNA repair processes, it can lead to a mutation when the cell replicates!.

Pollutants have to be detoxified and removed from the body!. This can result in Oxidative Stress!. Oxidative stress is another major component in the process of carcinogenesis!. Oxidative stress can create inflammation (see above) and can cause mutations in DNA!.
