(a. Objectives, b. Methodology, c. Ionizing Radiation, Radioactive Substances, or Chemical Substances to which human subjects are exposed, d. Involvement of Human Subjects [d.1. procedures used, d.2. risks if any])

About 50 subjects will be studied each year. Peripheral blood will be drawn at Beth Israel Hospital in New York and shipped to BNL for in vitro study of lymphocyte repair capacities. No repeat sampling is anticipated. The risks to subjects from drawing blood are a slight possibility of infection and localized bleeding into the tissues. No subjects will be studied at BNL.
