Title: Chromosome aberrations in lymphocytes and clastogenic factors in plasma detected in Belarus children 10 years after Chernobyl accident

Keywords: Chromosome aberrant cells; Lymphocytes; Clastogenic factors; Belarus; Chernobyl accident
Abstract: In 1996, 10 years after Chernobyl accident, a cytogenetic analysis was carried out to assess whether chromosome aberrant cells (CA) were still detectable in the lymphocytes and clastogenic factors (CFs) were present in the plasma of children coming from Gomel (Belarus), one of the most heavily contaminated regions. Furthermore, the possible contribution of plasmatic CFs to the amount of CA was investigated. The presence of CA was examined in the lymphocytes from 29 thyroid tumour-affected children and 41 healthy children (local controls). Thirty healthy children living in Pisa (Italy) were enrolled in the study as additional controls from an uncontaminated area….

Title: Polymorphisms in the p53 gene in thyroid tumours and blood samples of children from areas in Belarus
Author: Hillebrandt, S / Streffer, C / Demidchik, E.P / Biko, J / Reiners, Chr,
Reference: Mutation Research/Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis, 381 (2), p.201-207, Nov 1997
doi: 10.1016/S0027-5107(97)00169-3
Abstract: We present changes in the p53 gene in a group of 70 thyroid tumours and 40 blood samples obtained from children from Belarus. Three thyroid tumours show a polymorphism in exon 6 (codon 213) and 5 tumours show a polymorphism in intron 6, 37 bp upstream to the 5′-end of exon 7. Only one patient has a mutation in exon 7 (codon 258) resulting in an amino acid substitution in the protein p53. …One polymorphism in intron 6 was also found in the group of 30 healthy children from Belarus. The fact that the differences in the sequence in p53 found in the tumours was also seen in the blood of these patients demonstrates that they are polymorphisms not induced by radiation exposure. It is difficult to conclude, if the polymorphisms found by us could be associated with the predisposition to radiation-induced cancer.

Title: Estimated long term health effects of the Chernobyl accident
Author: Cardis, E. [International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon (France)]
Reference: Jul 1996 DOE Scientific and Technical Information
Keywords: 56 BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE, APPLIED STUDIES ;54 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES; CHERNOBYLSK-4 REACTOR; RADIATION ACCIDENTS; NEOPLASMS; PROBABILISTIC ESTIMATION; HUMAN POPULATIONS; BIOLOGICAL RADIATION EFFECTS; THYROID; BELARUS; RUSSIAN FEDERATION; UKRAINE; EPIDEMIOLOGY; CESIUM 137
Abstract: …These increases would be difficult to detect epidemiologically against an expected background number of 41500 and 433000 cases of cancer respectively among the two groups. The exposures for populations due to the Chernobyl accident are different in type and pattern from those of the survivors of the atomic bombing of Japan. Thus predictions derived from studies of these populations are uncertain. The extent of the incidence of thyroid cancer was not envisaged. Since only ten years have lapsed since the accident, continued monitoring of the health of the population is essential to assess the public health impact.

Title: Prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies in children and adolescents from Belarus exposed to the Chernobyl radioactive fallout

Abstract: The long-term effects of ionising radiation, including radioiodine, on thyroid function are not well known. We compared thyroid immunity and function in two groups of children from Belarus, one of whom was exposed to the radioactive fallout of Chernobyl.

- Title: The mobility of Chernobyl-derived 137Cs in a peatbog system within the catchment of the Pripyat River, Belarus
Author: A Kudelsky, Jim Smith, S Ovsiannikova and J Hilton
Reference: Elsevier, 1996
doi: 10.1016/0048-9697
Keywords: Pripyat,River,Soil, Belarus,137Cs
Abstract: The behaviour of Chernobyl-derived 137Cs in a hydrologically isolated bog system in the catchment of the Pripyat river in Belarus was investigated. Measurements were made of 137Cs activities in the solids and pore waters of the bog soils, as well as the variability in activity in water draining from the bog. It was found that the radiocaesium activity of the pore water, and hence the measured distribution coefficient, Kd, was dependent upon the pressure at which the water was removed from the soil.

Abstract: Six years after the accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, the behaviour of radionuclides in soils in rural areas of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia has been studied. Measurements were made to determine the total radioactive contamination, the fuel particle contribution, and the distribution and extractability of the radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr. Inside the 30 km restriction zone around the plant, particles of highly irradiated fuel accounted for most of the radioactive contamination.

- Title: Practical improvement of the radiological quality of milk produced by peasant farmers in the territories of Belarus contaminated by the Chernobyl accident: The ETHOS project
Author: Lepicard, S. / Hériard Dubreuil, G.
Reference: Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 56 (1-2), p.241-253, Jan 2001
doi: 10.1016/S0265-931X(01)00056-X
Keywords: Consequences of the Chernobyl accident; Improvement of living conditions; Radiological quality of milk; Stakeholder involvement
Abstract: The Chernobyl post-accident situation has highlighted how the sudden emergence of persistent radioactive contamination in the environment is severely affecting the quality of life of the inhabitants in the concerned territories. The management of this situation is complex, mainly conditioned by the ability of the inhabitants themselves to be directly involved in the process of improving their living conditions.
