Abstract

Venous blood samples from children (mean age 4.6 months) adults (mean age 30.4 years) and elderly persons (mean age 71.0 years) were exposed to 0, 125 or 250 R of X-rays. Comparison of the control batchs from the different age groups reveals that the yields of aneuploid cells and of structural aberrations increases with age. After exposure to 250 R the incidence of severe structural aberrations was higher in the new borns and old persons compared to young adults.
