Late damages after the reactor accident of Chernobyl
Description
A report is presented on the consequences of the 1986 reactor accident which have become know so far. This report is based on literature data and findings of the Clinical-diagnostic Branch of the Federal Health Office in exposed persons as well as results of major field studies involving medical examinations and measurements in which the author participated. With brief reference to clusters of cases of carcinoma of the thyroid in children which were found particularly in Belarus, a detailed account of which will be given by REINERS, information is presented on radiation exposure levels among the population and staff occupationally exposed during clearing-up operations. The observed increase of certain clinical pictures which may be indirectly related to the accident, has been the reason to present explanatory considerations of the clinical aspects. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Anhand von Literaturdaten und von Befunden des Klinisch-diagnostischen Bereiches des Bundesgesundheitsamtes (BGA) an ''Tschernobyl''-belasteten Personen sowie von Ergebnissen groesserer Untersuchungs- und Messaktionen vor Ort - unter Mitwirkung des BGA - wird ueber bisher bekannt gewordene Folgen des Reaktorunfalles von 1986 berichtet. Mit kurzem Hinweis auf die Haeufungen kindlicher Schilddruesenkarzinome, insbesondere in Weissrussland, auf die REINERS in seinem Beitrag im Detail eingehen wird, erfolgen Informationen ueber Strahlenbelastungswerte in der Bevoelkerung und bei den Aufraeumungskraeften. Die Zunahme verschiedener Krankheitsbilder, die moeglicherweise in mittelbarem indirekten Zusammenhang mit dem Unfallereignis stehen, ist Anlass fuer zu erlaeuternde klinische Ueberlegungen.
