The limitation of traditional approaches to assessing environmental hazards for human health and the inability to establish direct causal relationships have led to the need for the development of probabilistic methods for assessing the harm caused to health, collectively referred to as risk analysis methods. The article aims to determine and compare the information value of some modern criteria for assessing the carcinogenic risk of air pollution for the health of the urban population living in settlements with different industrial profiles. The article defines theoretical approaches to the study of the category of risk and the main directions of research in the field of environmental risk assessment. Based on the analysis of the scientific literature and the determination of carcinogenic risk, the authors analyze the problems arising from the air pollution of industrial centers.
