Abstract

The experiments on rats show that the 4-month elevated air dryness has no impact on body accumulation of 239Pu but causes more distinct forms of bronchitis and interstitial pneumonia combined with the strain in medullary hemopoiesis and reactivity intensification of pulmonary and B-system immunity. Under prolonged effect of both factors a breakdown in fully adequate immune response can occur.
