Description

This study evaluates the initial repair of chromosome breaks in G0 lymphocytes of individuals from normal level natural radiation areas (NLNRA, ≤1.5 mGy/ year) and high level natural radiation areas (>1.5mGy/year, HLNRA) of Kerala. However, the difference of IRR among the three dose groups (NLNRA, LDG and HDG) was not statistically significant at basal level and at 2 Gy. Nevertheless, our results indicated an enhanced repair of chromosome breaks in G0 lymphocytes of individuals from HDG of HLNRA
