Abstract

The causes of cancer in River Nile state are differ between environmen-tal and radiological, in this paper we tried to make comparison between the two causes, to determine the real cause behind the large rising of can-cer cases in this state, considering the daily habits for the patients and the possible contamination in the natural resources around them. The noticeable thing that we _nd most of cancer cases are might be due to the high concentration 0f nitrate pollutant detected in natural resources such as drinking water; Also by looking to the radioactive elements we see there's high concentration of some radioactive elements specially the K-40 which found in Portulaca Oleracea.
