Popis: The article considers the environmental pollution of the urbanized area with heavy metals and explores their effect on the oncological incidence of the population. Using modern GIS technologies, the content of heavy metals in soils of the city of Vladikavkaz was interpolated according to the available results of laboratory studies of soil testing and the corresponding maps were constructed. According to the results of the studies, a linear dependence of the oncological morbidity of the population on the content of heavy metals in soils is obtained. The reliability coefficient of approximation R2 = 0.14 indicates that the contribution of the content of heavy metals in soils to the total incidence of oncology in the population can be up to 14% of the total contribution of all factors that form the final value of the incidence. It was found that the following elements have the greatest impact in decreasing order: arsenic, mercury, and cadmium.
