Overall contamination of human environment, air, water and food determines also the health of human population with the increased number of carcinogenic diseases which, today, represent the second highest cause of mortality in the world. The most significant pollutants are: organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, nitrosamines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and mycotoxins which in the process of bioaccumulation through the food chain focus the pollution towards the species at the highest trophic levels. Total carcinogenic risk is evaluated to 7.7 x 10E-2 as the sum of food percentage risk of 35% and 22% of total death count caused by carcinome.
