Cervical cancer risk was significantly associated with environmental pollutants, showing slight increases in incidence rates.
The meta-analysis produced an overall standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of 1.01 (95% CI 1.00, 1.01), indicating a small but notable association.
Analysis included 11 studies with a high variability among results (I2 = 80.44%), emphasizing the need for standardized assessments.
Subgroup analysis identified a stronger connection between cervical cancer risk and ambient air pollution (SIR = 2.80, 95% CI 0.83–3.62).
