Abstract:
Twenty-one workers exposed to complex mixtures in the paint industry were compared with a control group of 19 persons from a blood bank in regard to micronuclei frequency in peripheral blood lymphocytes and in oral mucosa cells. The exposed persons showed significantly increased levels of micronuclei frequencies in both types of cells.
