Research Abstract

(1)GISを用い、枯葉剤撒布された調査地区の5万分の1の詳細な立体(3次元)地図を作成する。(2)枯葉剤の高濃度汚染が疑われる地区(Hot spot)を同定し、新たに疫学調査を実施する。(3)ダイオキシン類の異性体分析を環境試料について実施する。(4)地球科学の専門家の参加を得て、環境試料を採取し、X線回折や電子顕微鏡分析を実施する。(5)コントラスト感度視力計を用い、汚染地区と対照地区の対象者の視機能を計測する。また、姉妹染色分体交換(Sister Chromatid Exchange : SCE)との関連を検索する。さらに、糖尿病や免疫機能については、HbA1cやサイトカインの携帯可能な分析装置を現地に搬送して分析する。
