Abstrakt		Pollen grain assays in Picia faba and naturally gowing plants indicated increased genotoxic effects in habitats with elevated radiation levels. However, severe cytological damage in test plants could not be attributed solely to in situ genotoxic effect of prolonged irradiation, but to ageing of plants and complex clastogenic effects in the environment, including harsh weather conditions. Pollen grain assay in different plant species indicated that perennials could be used as biological indicators of long-term genotoxic exposure.
