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 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 کاملEnhanced Frequency of Chromosomal Aberrations in Workers Occupationally Exposed to Ionizing Radiations
The yield of chromosomal aberrations was analyzed in peripheral blood cultures to estimate the level of radiation exposure in workers from a radioprotection department. The subjects were exposed at low level dose rate (external exposure) to alfa, beta and gamma rays for time periods ranging between 7 and 34 years. We found a higher frequency of dicentrics and acentrics than in the control group...
متن کاملORGANOPHOSPHATE-INDUCED CHRONIC TOXICITY IN OCCUPATIONALLY EXPOSED WORKERS
Organophosphate chronic toxicity has been evaluated in this study. Biological screening for organophosphate insecticide-exposed workers is mostly recommended for mixers, loaders, formulators and spraymen. We have studied 17 occupationally exposed persons to pesticides. Using Ellman's colorimetric method, their plasma cholinesterase activities have been measured. Results show that the appear...
متن کاملHormonal Perturbations in Occupationally Exposed Nickel Workers
BACKGROUND Nickel exposure is recognized as an endocrine disruptor because of its adverse effects on reproduction. AIM This study was designed to investigate the possible testiculo-hormonal perturbations on workers occupationally exposed to nickel and to assess its effects on human male sexual function. METHODS Cross-sectional comparative study, comprising 105 electroplating male non-smoker...
