This review describes the history and organizational structure of the Ukrainian Research Center for Radiation Medicine, which has studied the health effects of the Chernobyl incident since 1986. In five years of observation, the percentage of people defined as "healthy" was reduced by 1.6-2.2 times, and the general frequency of disease increased by 2.6 times. The most common disorders seen were of the pulmonary, central nervous system, circulatory and gastrointestinal systems. The observed medical effects of radiation from Chernobyl are greater than might be expected, given the estimates of radiation dose released. This discrepancy may result from an underestimation of the radiation dose or a failure to account for compounding the interaction with factors other than radiation. Ongoing surveillance of the consequences from the Chernobyl accident must take place to provide new information on the health effects of accidental radiation exposure in humans.
本综述介绍了乌克兰辐射医学研究中心的历史和组织结构，该中心自1986年以来一直在研究切尔诺贝利事故对健康的影响。在五年的观察期内，被定义为“健康”的人群比例下降了1.6至2.2倍，疾病总发生率增加了2.6倍。最常见的疾病发生在肺部、中枢神经系统、循环系统和胃肠道系统。考虑到所释放辐射剂量的估计值，切尔诺贝利辐射所观察到的医学影响比预期的要大。这种差异可能是由于辐射剂量估计不足，或者未能考虑到与辐射以外的因素相互作用的复合影响。必须对切尔诺贝利事故的后果进行持续监测，以便提供有关人类意外辐射暴露对健康影响的新信息。
