  • Title: [Integrated estimation of carcinogenic load on the population in the town of Aktobe].
    Author: Iskakov AZh, Boev VM, Zasorin BV.
    Journal: Gig Sanit; 2009; (3):52-4. PubMed ID: 19642555.
    Abstract:
    Identification of carcinogens from the results of monitoring various environmental objects in an industrial town (Actobe) could single out 8 priority trace elements, which might cause their human accumulation. A carcinogenic risk was found to be formed due to the high ambient chromium pollution in the residential areas, to the accumulation of the elements in the deposited media and human body. Drinking water is a minor source of the identified carcinogens; therefore it may be borne in mind in the further analysis of a carcinogenic risk.
