[The health indices of those working in the cleanup during accident recovery operations]. / Nekotorye pokazateli zdorov'ia likvidatorov v period avariino-vosstanovitel'nykh rabot.

Having analyzed the data base of All-Army register contained information about 35,970 rescuers it was determined that 45.5% of them during works in dangerous radiative conditions complained of the health change for the worse characterized by the state of irritation of mucous membrane of superior respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. The direct correlation between value of irradiation dose and frequency of complaints, and also degree of lowering of there physical performance have been defined.

[A hygienic analysis of the irradiation doses of those cleaning up the aftermath of the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station (based on data from the All-Army Registry)]. / Gigienicheskii analiz doz oblucheniia uchatnikov likvidatsii posledstvii avarii na Chernobyl'skoi AES (po dannym Vsearmeiskogo registra).

In the result of the analysis of irradiation doses of 36,895 servicemen who have participated in liquidation of the Chernobyl APC disaster consequences it was found out that the average radiation dose was 12.1 cSv in 1986, 8.4 cSv in 1987, and in 1988-90 it didn't exceed 5 cSv. The irradiation received by these servicemen has depended on the time of their arrival to the zone of the disaster, the maximum permissible doses of radiation established at that period, the character of their activities and the place of their work, utilization of protection means. A conclusion was made that irradiation dose itself could be considered only as a general guide reference, because it didn't take into consideration internal irradiation and beta-irradiation of skin. That's why it is necessary to continue the further monitoring over the health status of liquidators independently of the doses of irradiation which were fixed in their histories.
