The study of mine water was conducted using\nsamples obtained from 63 points representing the main mining horizons of the Kryvyi Rih Iron Ore Basin (Ukraine), using the following indicators: dissolved\noxygen, biochemical oxygen demand over 5 days (BOD5), hydrogen index (pH), suspended solids, chemical oxygen demand (COD), dry residue, chlorides,\nsulfates, ammonium nitrogen, nitrites, nitrates, phosphates, oil products, total iron, and phenols.\nResults: Laboratory analysis of mine water revealed that the concentrations of several substances exceeded permissible levels. The integral pollution coef\nficients\nsuggested the water to be extremely polluted, and the ecological state of the environment as critical. The risk of malignant neoplasms in the Kryvyi\nRih industrial region was 25,054 (95% CI 25,010-25,098). Teenagers aged 15\u201317 had the highest risk of developing malignant neoplasms (OR 16,310 [95%\nCI 5,927-44,888]). Children under the age of 14 ranked second (OR 5,528 [95% CI 3,423-8,925]). Adults (.18 years old) had a lower risk of malignant neo\nplasms\n(OR 2,461 [95% CI 2,309-2,622]). Children and adolescents were more affected than adults, i.e. the etiologic fraction of mine water pollution in the\ndevelopment of malignant neoplasms was 81,9% and 94,3%, respectively (vs. 59,6% in adults).\nConclusions: Considering the extremely polluted state of mine waters in the industrially affected region of Ukraine, and assessing the related malignant\nneoplasm risks in the context of public health, the development of innovative preventive strategies and methodologies is required, taking into account all\nrelevant determinants, including environmental factors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.36740\/wlek\/214777","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]],"date-time":"2026-01-08T15:26:17Z","timestamp":1767885977000},"page":"2273-2279","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The role of mine water pollution in increasing the risk of malignant neoplasms among the population of industrially affected region of Ukraine"],"prefix":"10.36740","author":[{"given":"Oksana V.","family":"Oriekhova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Denys V.","family":"Varyvonchyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oleksandr I.","family":"Pavlenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ilona V.","family":"Savushyna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tomasz","family":"Bochenek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Micha\u0142 S.","family":"Bochenek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kateryna D.","family":"Kopach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"22436","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,30]]},"container-title":["Wiadomo\u015bci Lekarskie"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wiadomoscilekarskie.pl\/pdf-214777-133864","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wiadomoscilekarskie.pl\/pdf-214777-133864","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]],"date-time":"2026-01-08T15:26:19Z","timestamp":1767885979000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.wiadomoscilekarskie.pl\/The-role-of-mine-water-pollution-in-increasing-the-risk-of-malignant-neoplasms-among,214777,0,2.html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"11","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025]]}},"alternative-id":["214777"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.36740\/wlek\/214777","relation":{},"ISSN":["0043-5147","2719-342X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0043-5147","type":"print"},{"value":"2719-342X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,30]]}}}
