Ecological relationship of skin cancer generalisation in Primorsky Krai
Abstract
Based upon medical statistics in Primorsky Krai over 1990-2006, the authors have investigated the relations between general cancer morbidity and skin cancer morbidity with ecological and social factors. They found that social factors for propagation of this pathology prevailed. In the meantime, the general cancer morbidity, to a greater extent, was related to environmental contamination with wastewater, while the skin cancer morbidity was associated with chemical composition of dust in the air and quality of water used in everyday life.
