title: [The biological action of low-level radiation].
abstract: On the basis of their own data and the literature the authors have analyzed the mechanism of biological action of low-level radiation on cells. In studying the harmful effect of gamma-radiation (10-40 cGy) on HeLa cells it was shown that damages occurred in 12 postirradiation generations. Analysis of cell distribution within the colonies has demonstrated that the share of colonies with low cell content and the number of giant cell increase. These data indicate that low-level radiation causes reproductive cell death that can occur not immediately but in later generations.
