| Sumario: | Cytogenetic monitoring of amphibian and rodent populatiotis, and children from the radiocontaminated regions of the Republic of Belarus was conducted as a follow up to Chernobyl nuclear accident. A statistically significant increase in the levels of cytogenetic damage in bone marrow cells of amphibians and rodents and in peripheral blood lymphocytes of children was found. The presence of chromosometypeaberrations supports the conclusion that radiation is the causative agent. However, no direct relationship between the level of radionuclide contamination and the degree of the cytogenetic damage was found. |
