The Emergency Workers Medical Observation at the Long Time after the Chernobyl NPP Accident [PDF]

open access: yesRadioprotection, 2008
The approximately 500 emergency workers (liquidators) have been observed in the Treatment and Diagnostic center (Obninsk, Russia). The majority of them were men worked in Chernobyl NPP area in 1986. The total dose of external irradiation was up to 250 mSv. The basic pathology was cardiovascular diseases: ischemic heart disease, hypertension, multifocal
