[Role of genetic studies in the evaluation of the human influence of environmental factors].

The authors propose to include not only a control of human populations, but also environmental factors (chemical, physical, and biological), and objects (to estimate the cumulative mutagenic activity of water, air, soil, and foodstuffs) in order to ensure human genetic safety. For evaluation of human cell genetic damage, they also propose to use the noninvasive multiple organ micronuclear test, by taking into account additional cardiological parameters. The results of this monitoring makes it possible to define higher genetic risk areas for warranting the necessity, priority, and nature of prophylactic measures and to identify a risk group of individuals to be thoroughly examined and to undergo health-promoting measures.
