The book attracts the attention of the reader, since it is devoted to the urgent problem of the increase in the incidence of lung cancer and the clarification of the relationship of this phenomenon with the progressive air pollution of industrial centers and cities with carcinogenic hydrocarbons, in particular, 3-4-benzpyrene. Chapter 1 substantiates the conclusions about the relative and absolute increase in the incidence of lung cancer, especially in recent decades; it is noted that this increase concerns almost only men, and moreover, more residents of industrial centers than rural areas.
