Following the Chernobyl accident, enormous amounts of radioisotopes were released in the atmosphere and have contaminated surrounding populations in the absence of rapid protective countermeasures. The highest radiation doses were delivered to the thyroid gland, and the only direct consequence of radiation exposure observed among contaminated population is the increased incidence of thyroid cancers among subjects who were children in 1986 and who lived at that time in Belarus, Ukraine or Russia.
切尔诺贝利事故发生后，大量放射性同位素释放到大气中，由于缺乏迅速的防护措施，周边居民受到了污染。甲状腺所接受的辐射剂量最高，在受污染人群中观察到的辐射暴露的唯一直接后果是，1986年时还是儿童且当时居住在白俄罗斯、乌克兰或俄罗斯的人群中甲状腺癌发病率上升。
