Abstract
During the recent Goianian radiation accident, 97 exposed or potentially exposed individuals were analysed for the frequencies of chromosomal aberrations (dicentrics and rings) in their lymphocytes, for estimation of the absorbed radiation dose. Of these, 29 subjects had dose estimates exceeding 0.5 Gy, 21 exceeded 1.0 Gy and 8 exceeded 4.0 Gy. None of the estimates exceeded 7.0 Gy.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
