| Popis: | To establish at which extent the micronuclei (MN) frequency is influenced by occupational exposure to ionizing radiation, peripheral blood samples collected from 2151 subjects of both genders, smokers and non-smokers were analyzed. Among them, 378 (17.6%) were unexposed while the other 1773 (82.4%) were exposed to ionizing radiation for periods between 1 year and more than 30 years, at levels never overpassing legally regulated limits. The final results showed that for all investigated categories, MN frequency monotonously increases with the age by 1.75 ± 0.17 times in the case of exposed subjects, but independent on gender and smoking habit. |
