An analysis was performed of cytogenetic homeostasis in liquidators of the Chernobyl accident after-effects, which led to the belief that if the above contingent of subjects continue living in large industrial regions characterized by high levels of environmental contamination with industrial waste, such as that formed in the chemical, by-product coke, and metallurgical industries, they will not dispel disorders of the cytogenetic homeostasis (chromosomal and chromatic aberrations), which fact is believed to be due to the inhibition of the processes of elimination of somatic cells with a faulty genotype. Proposed for the correction of cytogenetic disorders are such options as a complex of antioxidants and intravascular laser irradiation of blood, that will, we believe, help in restoring the cytogenetic homeostasis.
