Genotoxicity Studies of Occupationally Exposed Mixed Organic Solvents in Printers
초록
A population monitoring studies for assessing the genotoxicity of occupationally exposed mixed organic solvents to printers were performed by using the chromosome aberration assay and the cytokinesis-blocked micronucleus assay. The incidence of chromosome aberrations and micronuclei was studied in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of 51 male printers and their matched controls in Seoul area. Smoking habits and duration of employment were taken into account. The frequencies of micronucleus in peripheral lymphocytes of printers were significantly different in comparision with control subjects. Also there were significant increase in the frequencies of micronucleus by duration of exposure. The frequencies of chromosome aberrations showed no significant differences between printers and their matched controls.
