| Popis: | The synthetic activity of lymphocytes from rat and ground squirrel was assessed for correlation with the rate of neutron radiation about the Earth surface. In the periods 1999–2002 for rats and 2002–2003 for ground squirrels, significant positive correlation was obtained with the neutron flux incident on Earth and the overall “terrestrial neutron field” but not with the neutron efflux from Earth. No correlation was observed in 2005–2006 when the solar activity and the variation in neutron count were minimal. It is concluded that low-energy neutrons may be bioeffective in periods of substantial variation in flux intensity. |
