Description
Summary:The article sums up 10 years of experience in assessing the quality of the environment based on the parameters of the immune system. The studies were conducted on rodents caught in areas with different levels of radioactive or chemical contamination, under the influence of electromagnetic fields of the radio range, and also in laboratory conditions. The most revealing results were obtained when evaluating the proliferative activity of lymphoid cells. A formula has been proposed that allows one to evaluate the degree of anthropogenic impact on the state of an organism in points based on an analysis of the level of spontaneous and mito-gen-induced proliferation of lymphocytes.
