Chromosomal aberrations and sister-chromatid exchange frequencies in workers occupationally exposed to textile dyes.
The peripheral lymphocytes of 11 male and seven female workers occupationally exposed to textile dyes were studied for cytogenetic change. A significant increase in the frequency of chromosomal aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges were recorded regardless of the duration of the workers' exposure to the dyes.
