Total leukocyte, neutrophile, lymphocyte, monocyte, platelet and eosinophile counts for the several exposure groups are given by day, by sex and age in Tables 4.2 to 4.5. The total white count, neutrophile, Ivmphoctyte and platelet counts at the times of maximum depression (averaged over the time during which counts were consistently the lowest) are shown in Tables 4.6 and 4.7 for each individual in (rroups Land TT respectively. Hematocrits for wl exposure groups are shown in Table 4.8. Hematological tindings as a function of time and age are shown also in Figures 4.1 to 4.5. The cumulative distribution curves for the Various eXpesure groups, using the average of counts obtained over the period of maximum depression (days 39 to 41 for leukocytes; days “6 to 40 for platelets) are shown in Figures 4.9 to 4.12." In the figures emphasis is placed on the separate blood elements rather than on the total leukocyte count, since the component elements have distinct and different time trends after irradiation. *In Grroup EV the cumulative distribucion curve for platelet count< only is presented since hematological determinations in thin group were net made during the ote G1 day pertod, timed for leukocyte comparisons uMag Che other groupes. 4.31 lhaet?
