Abstract: The monograph is devoted to estimation of medical radiological effects of the Chernobyl disaster for emergency workers and the population of Russia.
Based on analysis of the radiation and environmental situation in the contaminated territories and estimates of radiation doses, incidence of cancer diseases among emergency workers and the population due to the postchernobyl exposure has been predicted. For the cohort of emergency workers estimation of radiation risks of non-cancer diseases is also discussed.
Consideration is given to estimates of risks of solid cancers, first-time thyroid cancer and leukemias derived in the radiation epidemiological studies of actual data available in the Russian National Medical and Dosimetric Registry.
The work is intended for environmental scientists, radiation epidemiologists, radiobiologists, specialists in medical radiology and radiation protection.
