Abstract
The examination of 286 subjects exposed to radiation hazards when taki ng part in liquidation of the Chernobyl accident aftereffects was perf ormed to compare persons living under ecologically unfavourable condit ions (significant air pollution due to heavy industry) against those l iving in relatively comfortable environment. It was found that immune status of the former displayed imbalance. In the latter immunity was m uch less damaged. The findings suggest a conclusion on the role of env ironmental factors in immunological disturbances in subjects exposed t o small doses of ionizing radiation.
