T. YASODHA, P.A. BALAKUMARAN AND M. HARIKUMAR

Abstract

Genotoxic effects of various chemicals and other toxic substances on workers exposed at their occupational settings, is noteworthy. This exposure results in damage of DNA, thus affecting its replicating ability. Its ability to carry information is also altered Clonefero, 1997. Cytogenetic testing of groups with known or suspected chemical exposure may reveal effect on genetic material on exposed individual. The present investigation focuses on geno-toxic effects in traffic workers exposed to automobile exhausts.
