Lung cancer risk factor in the immigrant population of an industrial area in Poland was examined in a case-control study. Both, relative and summary risks were calculated with adjustment for the following factors: cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, atmospheric pollution in the place of residence, occupation, education and age. The multivariate logistic analysis indicated that cigarette smoking was a dominant risk factor. In addition, the following factors were confirmed to be significant lung cancer risk factors in the immigrant population of Upper Silesia (Poland): residence in the area of the greatest ecotoxins' concentration; work as toolmakers or manual laborers and seemingly, as coal-miners; lack of university or secondary education, and vodka consumption.
