Cytogenetic monitoring in a population occupationally exposed to pesticides in Ecuador.
We analyzed the incidence of structural and numerical chromosomal aberrations (CAs) in workers of a plantation of flowers located in Quito, Ecuador, in South America. This study included 41 individuals occupationally exposed to 27 pesticides, some of which are restricted in many countries and are classified as extremely toxic by the World Health Organization; among these are aldicarb and fenami...
متن کاملCytogenetic analysis of Pakistani individuals occupationally exposed to pesticides in a pesticide production industry.
Although several cytogenetic biomonitoring studies on workers exposed to pesticides have been reported, there is only limited information on this topic from developing countries where pesticides have been widely used over the years. People in developing countries are at higher risk from exposure, due to poor working conditions and a lack of awareness of the potential hazards during manufacturin...

AIMS To identify neurobehavioural deficits among workers exposed to organophosphorous (OP) pesticides in their occupation. METHODS This study was conducted during the period when pesticides were applied to cotton crops in the fields in Menoufiya Governorate, Egypt. Fifty two occupationally exposed male workers were compared to 50 unexposed male controls who were similar in age, socioeconomic ...
متن کاملCYTOGENETIC BIOMONITORING OF 65 RADIOLOGY TECHNOLOGISTS OCCUPATIONALLY EXPOSED TO CHRONIC DOSES OF X-IRRADIATION IN IRAN
The frequency of chromosomal aberrations was studied in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of 65 radiology technologists CRT) working at hospitals chronically exposed to x-rays. Although film dosimetry did not show the maximal annual permitted dose in any of the examined subjects, cytogenetic analysis detected fairly high levels of chromosomal aberrations in R T compared to unexposed controls...
متن کاملCytogenetic Monitoring of Farmers exposed to pesticides in Colombia.
We have monitored 30 pesticide-exposed workers and 30 matched controls for expression of chromosome aberrations (CA) and sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) in their lymphocytes. Peripheral blood cultures were set up within 3 hr after the collection of samples, and four cultures were set up from each donor. For CA analysis, 100 complete metaphase cells from each donor were evaluated. For the SCE a...
