Abstract
Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 32 male rotogravure workers with daily exposure to toluene were studied for chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid exchange. Neither of these 2 cytogenetic parameters differed significantly from the corresponding frequencies in 15 unexposed control subjects. A significant increase in sister chromatid exchange was observed among smokers, both exposed and occupationally unexposed, compared to nonsmoking referents.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
