[The methodological aspects of assessing the mutagenic background and genetic risk for man and the biota from the action of mutagenic ecological factors].

Methodology of the assessment of territory state for mutagenic background and genetic risk was proposed. It is based on analysis of results of cytogenetic monitoring of high-sensitive bioindicators and children populations as well as an analysis of statistic data on hereditary and ecology-dependent diseases in human populations. Methodology has been tested under the conditions of Dnepropetrovsk Province, that allowed to specify areas of increased genetic risk.
