Excerpt

The Chernobyl accident introduced for the first time the problem of chronic, persistent, long-term, low-dose exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) in humans. Currently, 21 years after the accident at the Chernobyl Power Plant in Ukraine (70 Km from Kiev), approximately 17 million people live in the radiocontaminated area and have been exposed to low-dose IR. Information regarding irradiation of the Ukrainian population is based on the official reports provided by the Ukrainian Government and the Ukrainian Academy of Medical Sciences. Morbidity of malignant renal tumors in adults during the period 1986–2006 increased from 4.7 to 9.9 per 100,000 of total population (from 6.0 to 12.6 per 100,000 of the male population and from 3.6 to 7.5 per 100,000 of the female population in Ukraine) [4]. …
