✦ Synopsis
A set a five human hair and lung samples from supposedly contaminated and non-contaminated regions around the site of the Chernobyl nuclear accident of April 1986 have been analysed using the SSNTD technique. Only one of the samples displayed an alpha activity significantly greater than what might he expected in a normal healthy specimen. The results, thus, support the conclusions of the IAFA Internatl.onal Chernobyl Project meeting, held at Vienna in May 1991, indicating that wmy of the Ill effects found in the area are primarily due to factors other than high environmental radiation levels.
