title: [An analysis of the micronuclei in the oral mucosa for assessing the cytogenetic effect of environmental pollutants].
abstract: The frequencies of micronuclei in the buccal mucosa cells are investigated in several groups: in the control group and in the groups of workers from the pure iron factory (populated area A): in the control group and in the group of workers from the microbiological works (area B). Frequencies of micronuclei are shown to somewhat increase in workers of both works as compared to the control groups. Levels of micronuclei are revealed to increase in the smokers as against the nonsmokers in the group of workers from the microbiological factory. The above examination permits recommending analysis of micronuclei to estimate xenobiotics polluting respiratory tracts.
