[One decade after Chernobyl: sequelae of the accident and urgent problems of radiation pathology].
Medico-biological sequelae of irradiation of humans as a result of the Chernobyl accident are considered. Acute radiation sickness, thyroid carcinoma in children, chromosomal aberrations in the peripheral blood lymphocytes have an etiological link with radiation. Three problems are important for future studies: 1) collection of reliable information about the radiation, 2) assessment of dose-effect relations, 3) organization of supervision.
