Genetic damage in coal miners evaluated by buccal micronucleus cytome assay.
During coal mining activities, large quantities of coal dust, ashes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and metals are released into the environment. This complex mixture presents one of the most important occupational hazards for health of workers. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the genetic damage together with the presence of inorganic elements, in an exposed workers population to...
متن کاملIncrease in DNA damage in lymphocytes and micronucleus frequency in buccal cells in silica-exposed workers
The alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay) was applied to study the genotoxic properties of silica in human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). The study was designed to evaluate the DNA damage of lymphocytes and the end points like micronuclei from buccal smears in a group of 45 workers, occupationally exposed to silica, from small mines and stone quarries. The results were com...

متن کاملEvaluation of Micronucleus Frequency and Related Factors in the Buccal Mucosa of Cone Beam Computed Tomography-Exposed Subjects
Background and aim: The ionizing radiation has been recognized to have deleterious effects on the DNA and induce cell death. Due to the importance of evaluating the DNA alterations in buccal mucosa cells induced by the ionizing radiation and by considering the limited volume of the samples used in previous studies, the present study aimed to assess the micronucleus (MN) incidence in the buccal ...
متن کاملA follow-up study on micronucleus frequency in Spanish agricultural workers exposed to pesticides.
To determine whether occupational exposure to a complex mixture of pesticides results in a significant increase in the level of cytogenetic damage, a follow-up study was planned on 39 greenhouse workers from Almería (southeastern Spain). Taking into account that pesticide exposure can be season-related, two blood samples were taken from each individual at different times: one in a period of hig...
