Results The number of workers exposed to carcinogenic factors increased in the period under analysis. In 2019, the total number of people exposed in the workplace to chemical carcinogens or mutagens was 4058, to ionizing radiation – 1015, and to technological processes with carcinogenic or mutagenic effects – 12, compared to 3224, 1289 and 8 people, respectively, in 2018.
