The dynamics of the cytogenetic effects in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of those who worked in the cleanup of the aftermath of the accident at Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station
Cytology and Genetics 1997, v 31, number 6, 41-47
Dynamics of cytogenetic anomalies in liquidators of the Chernobyl accident has been studied. Dicentric and ring frequencies appeared to be the most informative criteria of radio-induced chromosome aberrations. The rate of cell elimination with dicentrics and rings was higher in liquidators exposed to more than 25 cGy of radiation that in those exposed to less than 25 cGy of radiation. The rate of elimination of chromatid-type aberrations and genomic mutations was very low in the group of liquidators exposed to higher dose of radiation.
