[Industrial aerosols are a risk factor of oncologic diseases in underground miners].
The paper contains new data on the carcinogenicity of industrial aerosol to miners engaged to underground extraction of sulphide copper and nickel ores. Earlier appearance of oncologic diseases (lung and stomach cancer) is typical of this category of workers, exposed to higher aerogenic concentration of nickel in mine atmosphere. This fact demonstrates that the leading role in the ethiology of these diseases is played by multicomponent industrial aerosol containing nickel in the form of complex sulphides.
