This investigation was performed to test a supposition about the influence of disturbances in antioxidative system on
cytogenetical parameters in Chernobyl' clean-up workers. It was shown that some cytogenetical parameters straightly correlated with
the parameters of oxidative stress, while other cytogenetical parameters show just reverse correlations. Apparently, these relationships
are not of cause-and-effect type, but they reflect a complex processes occurring in humans for a long period after radiation exposure.
