Micronucleus frequency in cultured lymphocytes of an urban population.
The frequencies of micronuclei in cultured cytokinesis-blocked lymphocytes of an urban industrial population of 188 persons were determined. For the mean and SD, 16.0 +/- 7.3 per 1000 CB cells were obtained. A slight but definite age dependence--appr. 0.2/1000 increase per year on average--was indicated by thorough statistical analysis.
