Analysis of the relationship between lung cancer incidence rates and components polluting atmospheric air in the Khanty-Mansi autonomous okrug – Yugra

Abstract

Over the 20 years of the study period in Ugra there has been an increase in the standardized lung cancer incidence rate for 20 years of the study period in Ugra there is an increase in the standardized lung cancer incidence rate. The risk of lung cancer development is closely related to environmental factors, the main of which are: tobacco smoking and air pollution with carcinogens. We studied average annual concentrations of atmospheric air pollutants and standardized incidence rates of lung cancer in men and women in the territories of the county. As a result of cross-correlation analysis it was obtained that delayed correlation of lung cancer morbidity and average annual concentrations of formaldehyde in atmospheric air in men and women is manifested after 10–16 years of exposure; phenol after 13–17 years after exposure; nitrogen dioxide after 14–15 years after exposure
