Description

The object of this paper is to review the major features of the radiation induction of chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes concentrating on the low dose and low dose-rate part of the response. It then discusses the relevance of the results for inferring exposure to low dose and for assessing low dose-rate risks applicable in radiation protection. (author)
