High frequency of albinism and tumours in free-living birds around Chernobyl.

Mutation research - 18 Sept 2013

Møller A P, Bonisoli-Alquati A, Mousseau T A

Abstract excerpt

The effects of radioactive contamination on the phenotype of free-living organisms are poorly understood, mainly because of the difficulty of capturing the large numbers of individual specimens that are required to quantify rare events such as albinism and tumour formation. We hypothesized that the frequency of abnormalities like albinism and the frequency of radiation-induced diseases like cancer would increase...
