[The cytogenetic damage, radiosensitivity and adaptive response in children living in the different districts of Moscow].
The spontaneous level of blood lymphocytes with micronuclei (MN), the sensitivity to 1.0 Gy irradiation and adaptive response (AR) after adaptive irradiation with a dose of 0.05 Gy 5 hr later have been studied in children population living in different districts of Moscow. It was shown that spontaneous frequency of cells with MN, the sensitivity to 1.0 Gy acute irradiation and the AR manifestation have significant differences in samples taken from children living in different districts. The individual variability is significant also. In each group of children the individuals with the enhanced radiosensitivity after adaptive irradiation have been observed. In conformance with the data of radioecological inspection the radiation situation in different Moscow districts is quite safe on overage but in some districts the spontaneous level of lymphocytes with MN, and radiosensitivity after 0.05 Gy irradiation were enhanced, the AR was not found.
