[Cancer in Pasvik. Pollution from Nikeli. A connection?].
The Pasvik valley in Eastern Finnmark is polluted by large amounts of sulphur dioxide and heavy metals from the Soviet industrial town Nikeli. The cancer incidence in Pasvik may be increasing compared with the rest of Finnmark. A connection between the pollution and the increase in cancer incidence cannot ble excluded.
