| Resumen |
Discussion of the genetic implications of human exposures to ionising radiation with reference to recent studies and findings. These include reports of an excess of childhood leukaemia and lymphoma in the vicinity of the Sellafield nuclear plant in the United Kingdom, a new analysis of data on radiation effects in survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and a recent review of experimental data on the genetic effects of the irradiation of mice. Data from the last 2 studies suggest a much lesser genetic sensitivity to radiation than do results of the Sellafield study. Future research will include studies at DNA level. |
