      abstract     = {Many people in Taiwan have been living in buildings
                      constructed with cobalt-60-contaminated steel rods. To study
                      the biological effects of chronic low-dose ionising
                      radiation on the residents of one such building,
                      micronucleus formation in these individuals was compared
                      with that in controls.The 73 residents had 77
                      age-and-sex-matched controls: 31 had 31 close relatives as
                      controls (group A controls); eight of the 31 had a second
                      set of close relatives; and the other controls were 38
                      residents in neighbouring buildings. Two micronucleus assays
                      were used-a cytochalasin B (CBMN) assay and another
                      involving incubation with cytarabine (CBMNA). Assay results
                      are given as "frequency", or the number of binucleate cells
                      containing one micronucleus per 1000 randomly examined
                      binucleate cells.The CBMN and CBMNA mean (SD) frequencies
                      for 31 exposed individuals (0.016 [0.009] and 0.025 [0.013]
                      respectively) were greater than those for their group A
                      controls (0.009 [0.004] and 0.016 [0.009], respectively) (p
                      = 0.0006 and 0.0002, respectively). The mean CBMN and CBMNA
                      frequencies for all the exposed individuals (0.017 [0.011]
                      and 0.030 [0.014], respectively) were significantly greater
                      than those for all controls (0.011 [0.008] and 0.019 [0.01];
                      p = 0.0001 for both comparisons). The ranges of the
                      differences in CBMN or CBMNA frequencies between 31 exposed
                      individuals and their group A controls were 0.003 to 0.020
                      and 0.001 to 0.032, respectively. After adjustment for age,
                      sex, and cigarette smoking, the adjusted relative risks of
                      micronucleus formation from radiation exposure in all 73
                      residents was 1.58 $(95\%$ CI 1.42-1.71; p = 0.0001) by the
                      CBMN assay and 1.64 (1.53-1.77; p = 0.0001) by the CBMNA
                      assay.These findings suggest that chronic low-dose and
                      low-dose-rate gamma-ray environmental exposure may induce
                      cytogenetic damage in human beings.},
