[The results of a hematological examination of the population living in an area of intense radiological control in Bryansk Province].
As many as 1492 residents of populated areas in Zlynka District of Bryansk Province were studied. There were 628 children and 864 adults in the series. Contamination with radionuclides in the territory of residence was of the order of 40/km2 and above; the level of cesium deposition in the body of the examinees ranged between 0.4 to 3.4. Deviations from the norm in the peripheral blood were detected in 15% of adults and 36% of children. These were manifest by hypochromic anemia, by eosinophil- and lymphoid-type leukemoid reactions, and by other disorders that resulted from nutritional imbalance, deficiency of iron of varying genesis, helminthic invasion, allergic states. Concurrent cellular and humoral immunity shifts coupled with the deviations from the norm in the indices for the thioldisulphide system attest to the need for designing of measures to secure long term observation over health state of the population residing in the contaminated territories.
