The article highlights the materials of our own research on the assessment of carcinogenic risk from technogenically enhanced natural sources of ionising radiation. The study was carried out for the Mykolaiv region, whose geological features in the north contribute to an increased burden on the population from natural sources of ionising radiation. The study used materials from well-known radioecological and dosimetric studies in the Mykolaiv region.
The presence of a carcinogenic risk from ionising radiation sources encountered in everyday life was confirmed. The cancer incidence and mortality rates among the population from different regions of the Mykolaiv region, which differ in the magnitude of the dose load on the population from natural and artificial radiation, were determined and analysed. There is a difference in the average annual growth rates of cancer incidence and mortality for regions with different levels of human exposure to man-made and artificially enhanced sources of ionising radiation of natural origin.
