Ecotoxic Effects in Pinus Sylvestris L Populations Growing in the Vicinity of a Radioactive Waste Storage Facility and in the 30-km Zone of the Chernobyl Npp
Cones and young shoots were collected (in autumn, 1997–2002 and in May, 1998–2002, respectively) from trees of three Scotch pine populations located at the LWPE territory, in the centre of the Sosnovy Bor town, and at 30-km distance from the town in an ecologically safe site chosen considering the wind rose. A similar experiment was carried out earlier in the 30km Chernobyl NPP zone, where popu...
متن کاملEvolutionary Forces Influencing Variation among Populations of Pinus sylvestris
The evolutionary forces influencing genetic differentiation among populations are identified. Natural selection, random genetic drift, and mutations promote differentiation while phenotypic plasticity and gene flow delay or prevent differentiation. Evolution is a dynamic force which leads to instability and absence of any perfection in the adaptive process. Natural selection acts mainly on phen...
متن کاملCytogenetic Damage at Low Doses and the Problem of Bioindication of Chronic Low Level Radiation Exposure
INTRODUCTION The problem of correct estimation of low-level exposure chronic irradiation biological consequences is one of the most important unsolved problem. It is actual for radiobiology and radioecology at the moment. The development of new concept of radiation protection of human and biota should be based on clear understanding of low-level chronic exposure biological consequences. The est...
متن کاملHealth effects from chronic low-level exposure to hydrogen sulfide.
The acute toxic effects of hydrogen sulfide have been known for decades. However, studies investigating the adverse health effects from chronic, low-level exposure to this chemical are limited. In this study, the authors compared symptoms of adverse health effects, reported by residents of two communities exposed mainly to chronic, low-levels of industrial sources of hydrogen sulfide, to health...
