Description
Summary:Young people that were born and are living now on the radioactively contaminated territories assess the danger of radiation for the health at the same level as dangers of mostly harmful environmental factors. Besides, the clear downward trend of the level of mental and, especially, physical health was revealed among male young people living on the territories with the highest levels of radioactive contamination. Apart from that, deviations of integral indexes of the life quality for all polled groups living on radioactively contaminated and non-contaminated territories do not exceed 10% (assessment of the life quality according to the method SF-36) and one point (linear 10-points assessment scale).
