This article hopes to investigate the relationship between air pollution and small cell lung cancer through statistical data, and summarize experience. We investigated the causes of lung cancer in Beihai of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in recent 10 years. Results we found that there were relatively more lung cancer cases among workers of paper mills, residents living nearby and cottage residential areas, and the incidence of lung cancer among women increased and tended to be younger. Through statistical analysis, we believe that SO2 and smoke in the air are the main causes of small cell lung cancer.
