Morphological composition of peripheral blood for workers of the weapons and military technology recycling and disposal facilities
Morphological composition of th peripheral boold for workers after combined exposure to lower levels of external gamma-rays and internal alpha radiation from incorporated plutonium was analyzed over 30 years of medical follow-up. The peripheral blood counts did not depend on duration of exposure to ionizing radiation sources, external gamma-ray dose (dose range from 0.02 to 22.07 cGy) and the internal alpha-radiation (plutonium body burden from 0.01 to 1.63 kBq).
