[The moisture-releasing function of the lungs in persons who were exposed to moderate doses of ionizing radiation after the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station]. / Vlagovydelitel'naia funktsiia legkikh u lits, podvergshikhsia vozdeistviiu umerennykh doz ioniziruiushchego izlucheniia posle avarii na ChAES.

Results are submitted of studying the moisture-eliminating function of the lungs in healthy individuals who did not take part in the elimination of the aftermath of Chernobyl breakdown, and those having participated in the above attempts. The moisture-eliminating function of the lungs was found out to be varying and dynamic, being age-associated as well as dependent upon the position of the examinee on the right or left side. There can be noted relatedness of the moisture-eliminating function of the lungs to some ecological factors (moderate doses of ionizing radiation).
