Abstract:
This study investigated the possible genetic effects in blood lymphocytes of tannery workers from Morocco being professionally exposed to multiple chemical agents. It was shown that the frequencies of cells with chromosome aberrations and micronuclei were significantly increased in the lymphocytes of the workers compared with the frequencies found in an unexposed control population.
