Chromosome aberrations in workers exposed to arsenic.
The occurrence of chromosome aberrations was studied in short-term cultured lymphocytes from nine workers exposed to arsenic at the Rönnskär smeltery in northern Sweden. In the smelter workers, 87 aberrations were found in 819 mitoses. The number of aberrations varied individually from 0 to 25 aberrations per 100 cells. In a control material 13 aberrations were found in 1012 mitoses. The freque...
متن کاملSuicide in Australian pesticide-exposed workers.
BACKGROUND Epidemiological research has observed that workers with exposure to anticholinesterase pesticides, and particularly those with a history of acute overexposure, may be at increased risk of depression. However, there is little published research about the risk of suicide in relation to pesticide exposure. AIMS To investigate risk of suicide in relation to metrics of pesticide exposur...
متن کاملmFISH analysis of chromosome aberrations in workers occupationally exposed to mixed radiation.
We performed a study on the presence of chromosome aberrations in a cohort of plutonium workers of the Mayak production association (PA) with a mean age of 73.3 ± 7.2 years to see whether by multi-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (mFISH) translocation analysis can discriminate individuals who underwent occupational exposure with internal and/or external exposure to ionizing radiation 40...
متن کاملChromosome translocations in workers exposed to benzene.
As benzene has been linked with elevated risk of both acute myeloid leukemia and lymphoma, we explored the effect of benzene exposure on levels of t(8;21), t(15;17), and t(14;18) translocations. Circulating lymphocytes of normal individuals also often contain t(14;18). Quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that 37 workers with benzene exposure had a decreased level of t(14;18) ...
متن کاملChromosome aberrations in persons accidentally exposed to 192Ir gamma-rays.
Chromosome examinations were made both in cultured peripheral lymphocytes and in freshly aspirated bone marrow cells of 6 persons accidentally exposed to gamma rays from an 192Ir. Samplings of peripheral blood for the chromosome analysis were repeated mostly at weekly in tervals during the hospitalization beginning on 10-11 days after the initial exposure, and at more prolonged intervals after ...
