Abstract
The authors investigated the level of cytogenetic damage in the bone m arrow of wild house mice living near the Tadzhik aluminum plant. The a verage portion of cells with chromosomal aberrations did not differ re liably for animals caught at distances of 1 and 80 km from the plant, but in both cases it did significantly exceed the spontaneous frequenc y of such cells in laboratory mice. Statistically reliable individual variability of mice belonging to one subpopulation was found with resp ect to the level of cytogenetic damage.
