title: [Role of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the etiology of lung cancer morbidity among the population a of a large industrial city].
abstract: The article deals with results of studies covering the levels of carcinogenic aromatic hydrocarbons including benzpyrene (an indicator) in atmosphere of various districts within an industrial city. Concentrations of toxic substances, heavy elements, radioactive aerosols in the air were also analyzed. Lung cancer morbidity among the population was studied. By means of poll among the patients the scientists revealed the duration of residence in various districts within the city, occupational background, bad habits, which preceded lung cancer. Close correlation between lung cancer incidence and air pollution with benz(a)pyrene was seen. Threshold concentrations of the carcinogen were estimated. Role of smoking and air pollution in lung cancer morbidity were determined.
