Abstract

The retrospective epidemiologic investigation that had been conducted in the Region with highly developed aniline coating industry (Tambovskiy Region) permitted to identify a series of ecologic effects promoting urinary bladder cancer. There was revealed a certain relation between living in the vicinity of industrial facilities (aniline coating plants, textile factories and tanneries, highways with intensive traffic, service stations, oil refining and bulk plants, coal mines and storages) and the initiation of sickness. Long living in the vicinity of these industrial facilities (distance - not less than 500 meters and duration - more than 10 years) increased the risk of urinary bladder cancer to a high degree.
