Apparently, no effects were observed in terms of an increased occurrence of legal abortions, while spontaneous abortions increased from 2.7% of all pregnancies during the last 12 months before the accident total after the accident. At the same time, the total number of pregnancies somewhat decreased. Based on monthly measurements in each municipality of external and internal (food-based) doses, dose-response associations were assessed for a number of perinatal health problems. No associations were observed. Pregnancy outcome / Chernobyl / Norway
