Abstract

The report is concerned with an analysis of lung cancer morbidity (1979-1986) in the population of the Norilsk industrial region versus age. In the 50-59 and 60-69 years age groups, it was found to be 2.1-2.5 times the national and Krasnoyarsk regional levels. Carcinogenic hazards involved in processing ores of different metals contribute to such morbidity.
