  • Title: Sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in lymphocytes of persons working at Shlobin (USSR), 150 km north of Chernobyl.
    Author: Tuschl H, Kovac R.
    Journal: Acta Biol Hung; 1990; 41(1-3):249-55. PubMed ID: 2094124.
    Abstract:
    Workers at a building plot in Shlobin (USSR), 150 km north of Chernobyl, were examined for the occurrence of spontaneous and mitomycin C induced SCEs in peripheral lymphocytes. Personnel being present during and after the Chernobyl accident exhibited a decreased number of inducible SCEs compared with test-persons starting work at Shlobin by 1st of June, 1986. Since effective dose equivalents were rather low (about 2 m Sv till the end of August 1986), induced SCEs proved to be a very sensitive test for the demonstration of low dose exposure.
