HERITABLE ANOMALIES IN THE HIGH BACKGROUND RADIATION REGION IN KERALA, INDIA

Results of a cross-sectional Epidemiologist study

In India, there are an estimated half a million people in 40 regions with high 
background radiation emitted from the surface deposit of thorium bearing monazite. 
Highly concentrated deposits of monazite, ilmenite, rutile etc are found in the 
coastal districts of Ganjam in Orissa, Kanyakumari in Tamilnadu and Kollam in Kerala 
states. The Kerala strip was identified by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 
1957 as an ideal setting for conducting long term studies to assess the genetic load 
from chronic exposure to low dose radiation. (1) Even four decades after this, animal 
data remains the main input for the estimate of radiation-induced genetic risk to man.
