Título Chromosome changes in workers (smokers and nonsmokers) exposed to automobile fuels and exhaust gases
Información bibliográfica Sep. 1982, Vol.8, No.3, p.209-221. Illus. 31 ref.
Resumen Blood samples were taken from drivers of diesel-engine trucks, drivers of gasoline-engine trucks, automobile inspectors, and a control group (12 subjects in each group). There was no evidence of a marked occupational effect, although a grave suspicion remains that working with diesel engines may increase the incidence of chromosome changes. Smokers showed significant or near significant increases in aberrations in 3 of the groups.
