Cytogenetic damage in lymphocytes of rubber industry workers

Journal Article · · Environ. Res.; (United States)
Cytogenetic investigations were conducted in workers who are occupationally exposed to rubber chemicals such as tetramethylthiuram disulfide, zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate, and tetraethylthiuram disulfide using lymphocytes of peripheral blood. A significant increase in the frequency of chromosomal breaks and gaps was recorded regardless of the duration of exposure to these chemicals.
