Abstract
The studies of the indices showing the non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) m orbidity and death-rate were carried out in Rivno region between 1981 and 1991, six northern areas of which were contaminated by radionuclid es as a result of Chernobyl accident. The rise in morbidity and death rates was revealed both in contaminated and non-contaminated areas. Th e increase of the NHL morbidity and death rates proved to be significa nt in elder age groups (aged 50-74). However, no correlation between t he intensity of the radionuclides contamination and NHL morbidity rate has been detected.
