Evaluation of granulation peripheral blood basophils in people exposed to industrial contaminants.
The effect of industrial contaminants on the cytomorphometry of basophils was studied. A statistically significant difference in the densification of cytoplasmic granules of basophils was observed in people exposed to pollutants compared to people from less contaminated areas. No differences in cell area, nucleus area, or cytoplasm size were found among the tested groups.
