What have we learnt in the past 25 years of the health effects arising from radiation exposure due to the Chernobyl accident? There are some clear consequences: early deaths from acute radiation sickness among the emergency workers receiving high doses, a large excess of thyroid cancer among those heavily exposed to radioiodine as children, and psychological effects among those most affected by the accident. There are indications of other consequences: raised rates of leukemia among the liquidators, and increases in the incidence of childhood leukaemia and of breast cancer in the heavily contaminated areas of the former USSR.
