Abstrakt: DNA-protein cross-links in white blood cells of Apodemus agrarius and Clethrionomys glareolus dwelling in the territory of the guarded zone of the radioactive waste storage in Sergievo Posad (area with gamma-background 50-400 microR/h) have been determined. As a control the animals from sanitary protected area of Sergievo Posadsky department (gamma-background on the soil surface is 8-10 microR/h) was used. It was found that the doses received by Apodemus agrarius and Clethrionomys glareolus, resulted in increasing of the DNA-protein cross-link level in the Apodemus agrarius white blood cells by a factor of 1.8, and in Clethrionomys glareolus by a factor of 1.4, in comparison with control. The increase of DNA-protein cross-link number reliably correlates with the beta-emitting nuclide content in animal bodies. The changes in the number white of cells and in the white blood composition were not observed.
