| Abstract |
82 cytogenic examinations performed in 1979 are reviewed, bringing the total of this series up to 472. A brief description of each of the 1979 investigations, with physical and cytogenetic dose estimates is given. The 472 cases are divided into 4 exposure categories, and the types of aberrations found are analysed. The majority of cases originated in industrial radiography, in particular during theuse of iridium-192 for non-destructive testing. Acentric aberrations outnumbered dicentrics. |
