Fig. 4: Comparison between the death rates caused by tracheal, bronchus and lung cancer, and age-adjusted lung cancer incidence rates (LCIRs) as well as ILCR.

a Correlation between state-level death rates caused by tracheal, bronchus and, lung cancer and state-level age-adjusted LCIRs in 13 states from 1990 to 2012 in India as shown in Fig. 3c. Note that three larger LCIR values (>25 × 10−5) were reported by Mizoram India (https://health.mizoram.gov.in). b Comparisons between state-level death rates caused by tracheal, bronchus, and state-level ILCR induced by exposing BaP contamination in IGP from 1990 to 2015. The death rates caused by tracheal, bronchus, and lung cancer are collected from the Indian Council of Medical Research (https://vizhub.healthdata.org/gbd-compare/india).
