抄録

For three monthes since July 1957, the authors have investigated as to peripheral blood picture of healthy adults, (man 55, woman 54) in Toshima village, Tokyo-To and obtained the following results (Figures indicate average values)
1) Number of Erythrocytes were in 424.8×10⁴ in male and 411.9×10⁴ in female and average figure was 418×10⁴ in total.
2) Number of Leucocytes were about 5235 in male, about 5306 in female and total average 5270. These figures were lower than the standard figure of Japanese.
3) Haemoglobin content (by Sahli-Haemochromometer) were 83.7% in male and 21.5% in female and 82.6% in total.
4) The results of differeutial count of Leucocyte were as follows.
a) Neutrophil Leucocytes, male 46.5% female 52.1% in total 49.2%.
b) Lymphocytes, male 47.9% female 42% in total 45.0%
c) As to monocytes, male 2.7% female 2.9% in total 2.8%
d) As to eosinophil leucocytes, male 2.9% female 1.7% in total 2.3%
e) As to basophil leucocytes, male 0.03% female 0.14% in total 0.09%
The authors should pay attention to the lower figure on erythrocytes, leucocytes, and haemogloblin, but they can not tell, without consideration of difference of the life conditions of natives, that these lower figures are significant, therefore they must study further several factors on this matter. As drinking water is rainwater, they have to consider the influence by radioactive materials in future, but at present status they believe it is not necessary to take into consideration the influence of radioactive material from the resultabove mentioned.
