[Universal character of induction of cytogenetic aberrations by low intensity radiation, and estimation of genetic risk].
The analysis of contemporary state of the problem in quantitative estimation of cytogenetic effects within the low dose range is given. Experimentally derived modern data led to a conclusion that the relationship between radiation induced cytogenetic damage and dose within the low dose range is non-linear and universal (concerning test-objects) in nature. Consequences of the received results for biological dosimetry and the estimation of genetic and carcinogenic risk of low dose exposure are discussed.
