Abstract		The cause of carcinogenic diseases can be the working environment, working conditions and substances employees deal with at work.Reliable data are a proof of this fact. Experts estimate that the rate of carcinogenic diseases, caused by industrial chemical substances, is between 2 and 30 percent. Since little data on this has been gathered, it is difficult to estimate the actual hazard employees in Slovenia are exposed to. However, it is known that wood processing is among the most dangerous industrial branches.
Summary		Vzrok za nastanek rakastih obolenj so delovno okolje, delovne razmere in snovi, s katerimi delavci delajo. O tem pričajo zanesljivi podatki. Strokovnjaki ocenjujejo, da je delež rakastih obolenj zaradi industrijskih kemikalij med 2 in 30 odstotkov. Dejansko ogroženost slovenskih delavcev je težko oceniti, ker ni zbranih podatkov o tem. Znano pa je, da je med industrijskimi panogami najnevarnejša lesna predelava.
