YEARS POST - EXPOSURE
Fig. 2: Annual mean blood cell counts of the different exposure groups (age 5 years or more) expressed as
percent of control, beginning two years after exposure. Values for both sexes are grouped for neutrophils and
lymphocytes. Detailed annual observations, including blood cell counts, on the Utirik population did not begin
until 1973. Leukocyte differentials and platelet counts were not obtained for six and five of the examinations,
respectively, but for graphing purposes the 100% line has not been broken at those years.
