Diseases caused by environmental exposure Skin Cancer Australia: 2016 Incidence rate: 51 per 100,000 people 2018 Incidence rate: 50 per 100,000 people 2016 Mortality rate: 4.5 per 100,000 people 2018 Mortality rate: 6.3 per 100,000 people Incidence rate varies depending on location of country – countries located closer to the ozone depletion region will be more exposed to UV Radiation. Also fair-skinned dominant populations will have a higher rate of skin cancer than darker skin dominant populations. ✓ The prevalence rate of skin cancer is Australia is high as approximately two in three Australians will develop skin cancer by 70. ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Lung Cancer Data for lung cancer in Australia: - In 2014 there were 8251 deaths from lung cancer in Australia.
