摘要: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between DNA damage and blood lead levels in individuals occupationally exposed lead. To evaluate association, 61 workers were monitored terms lymphocytes. measured according 3 comet assay parameters, including tail intensity (TI), moment (TM), (DNAt). A statistically significant positive correlation found TI, TM, DNAt (p <.01). Smoking had independent effects on damage. difference observed smokers nonsmokers regards parameters <.05). In addition, be significantly higher than nonsmoking Our results show that exposure induces genotoxic peripheral lymphocytes, as by assays.
