  • Mutagenetsko testiranje učencev osnovne šole = Chromosome aberrations study of pupils in high radon level elementary school
    Bilban, Marjan
    A number of studies imply that the exposure to radon can cause lung cancer. Inour environment radon can be found in lithosphere only, from where it is released as a gas into the atmosphere. The Karst ... region with its open landscape is a special problem, since its geologic features prevent the stopping of radon being released into the air. Older buildings have been builtin times when the awareness of the harmful effect of radon was not so widespread. This has resulted in many mistakes during construction thus allowing the penetration of radon. One of such buildings is the analysed school S3, where the measurements of radon content and its decay products havebeen carried out. Some mutagene tests have also been carried out, indicating a statistically significant increased share of structural chromosomal aberrations and micronucleus, compared to the control group. Of course, the effects of their living environment and other genotoxic influence can not be excluded After the implementation of some technical measures (new foundations, ventilation), the concentration of radon and its decay products decreased significantly; as far as other measures are concerned, future monitoring and in cases of particularly significant deviations individual genetic counselling are suggested.
