Persistance of unstable chromosome aberrations in medical staff occupationally exposed to ionising radiation

Chromosome aberrations in cultured human lymphocytes may serve as a biological indicators of occupational radiation exposure. From earlier investigation during the history of radiation protection it is well known that the frequency of dicentric, rings and acentric fragments remained stable for some time after irradiation. In vivo analyses of chromosome aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes of persons occupationally exposed to ionising radiation have shown various aberration frequencies. With this study we want to highlight the persistance of chromosome aberrations (CA) expressed as chromosome breakage in human peripheral blood lymphocytes in medical staff occupationally exposed to ionising radiation.
