Have the authors considered the confounding effect of the induced movement between elevations of those with lung cancer, which could create sample self-selection bias?

inspired ppO2 of 0.4ATA would increase incidence of lung cancer?

Did you account for the variance of low sampling?

Have the authors considered the fact that most solvent vapors are heavier than air and will be at higher concentrations at lower altitudes?
