Abstract
Bronchial biopsies were studied in inhabitants from 3 ecologically contrasting regions in the long term after exposure to radiation. It is established that in bronchial biopsies diffuse atrophy of the mucous membrane is prevalent in the bronchial part of the lungs in an ecologically unfavorable region. Under these conditions a marked decrease of metabolic and proliferative reactions is shown in cell populations of the bronchial wall, as is evident from the data of radioautographyin vitro and stereological analysis.
