Abstract: Difficulties and errors in estimating the neurological disorder in a person, exposed to radiation, is often found in practices. This is proven by objective facts and caused by insufficient knowledge of some researchers. Cases of defects of education, of people, on the wide range of natural radiation and human body’s content of radioactive elements are found, with which the effects of technogenic impacts must be compared.

We recall that the nervous system has no specific receptors for reactions, on which the quantity of absorbed energy, in the human body, of ionizing radiation could be judged.

doi: 10.1016/S0924-9338(00)00237-6

Keywords: education; emotional disorder; exposure; prenatal; social factors; specific learning ; thyroid dose

Abstract: The study examined psychological development in 250 children at the age of 6–7 and 10–12 years who had been exposed in the prenatal period at the time of the Chernobyl accident in 1986. These children were compared to a control group of 250 children of the same age from non- and slightly contaminated areas of Belarus. The examination included psychiatric examination and intellectual assessment as well as the estimation of thyroid exposure in utero. The mean value of thyroid doses from ¹³¹I 0.39 Gy was estimated for the prenatal exposed children….
