Description

During 2000 - 2004 the values of the absorbed dose for hydrobionts from reservoirs within the Chernobyl NPP exclusion zone were found. The highest value was found for hydrobionts from lakes within the embankment territory on the left-bank flood plain of Pripyat River. The high level of chromosome aberration in of snail's cells from water objects within the Chernobyl exclusion zone has been registered in comparison with Goloseevo lakes. The molluscs from Dalekoye-1 Lake and Glubokoye Lake were characterised by the maximal rate of chromosome aberration - about 20-25%, that in 10 times exceeds a level spontaneous mutagenesis for hydrobionts. A little bit less rate is registered for snails from Azbuchin Lake and Yanovsky Creek
