Abstract
Within the framework of humanitary the amount of radiation injury and its effect on the population in the highly contaminated district of Krasnopolje, Belorussia, has been continuously analyzed for the past 4 years. The existence of radiation damage to the people (i.e. increasing incidence of carcinoma, hypothyroidism, immuno deficiency syndromes and psychogenic disorders) has been proven since 1990. Additional systematic analysis of a wider population are of extreme importance in order to obtain valid epidemiologic data.
