Abstract:
A cytogenetic analysis was carried out on peripheral blood lymphocytes of workers exposed to chromite in a ferrochromium plant, to evaluate the possible existence of genetic damage. A quantitatively limited increase in aberrant cell frequencies was detected in subjects working in the furnace sector. The data were analyzed by several statistical approaches.
