Mental disorders among Chernobyl cleanup workers from Estonia: A clinical assessment.
OBJECTIVE To assess, at a clinical level, the mental health of former Chernobyl cleanup workers from Estonia by comparing them with same-age controls. METHOD The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) was administered during 2011-2012 to 99 cleanup workers and 100 population-based controls previously screened for mental health symptoms. RESULTS Logistic regression analysis sho...
متن کاملHealth conditions among workers who participated in the cleanup of the Chernobyl accident.
People who took part in the Chernobyl accident cleanup have been registered upon their return to Kyrgyzstan since 1991, and their children since 1992. Later, citizens affected by the Semipalatinsk and Chelyabinsk contamination incidents were included for registration and health care purposes. The effects of the nuclear waste depositories in the Mailuu-Suu region were examined with the assistanc...

DESIGN Register-based cohort study. SETTING Estonia. PARTICIPANTS An exposed cohort of 3680 men (cleanup workers) and an unexposed cohort of 7631 men (population sample) were followe...
متن کاملthe chernobyl accident and the Baltic sea
The impact of the radioactive fallout caused by the accident at the Chernobyl NPP on the Baltic Sea is discussed in this paper. The fallout from Chernobyl was very unevenly distributed in the drainage area of the Baltic Sea; the Bothnian Sea and the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland received most of the deposition. This was reflected in the activity concentrations of the main fallout nuclides...
متن کاملSomatic Cell Mutation Assay at the Glycophorin-a Locus in Human Erythrocytes for Biodosimetry
For risk assessment, it is necessary to evaluate the dose of human exposure to radiation. Ionizing radiation being an environmental genotoxic factor induces dosedependent somatic mutations. Recent studies support the somatic-mutation theory of carcinogenesis. Mutations at the Glycophorin–A (GPA) loci have been studied for establishment of somatic mutation assays. GPA assay provides a lifetime b...
