title: [Etiology of lung cancer in workers of graphite industry].
abstract: Carcinogenic hazards for workers of certain plants of steel, asbestos, oil-producing, oil-refining and chemical industries were studied. Potential carcinogenic hazards for workers of graphite industry conditioned mainly by coke and graphite dust adsorbed polycyclic hydrocarbons, particularly, benzo(a)pyrene made the case for cancer epidemiologic studies which were carried out at some of those plants in the 70s. Exposure to polycyclic hydrocarbons adsorbed on industrial dust was shown to significantly increase the incidence of lung cancer.
