title: [Genotoxic effects in workers engaged in ore mining and processing].
abstract: The authors studied frequencies of chromosomal aberrations (CA) in 48 ore mining and processing workers exposed to occupational hazards complex. Finding is significantly increased frequency of CA, when compared to that in reference groups. Level of structural CA in the main group appeared not to depend on age, sex and bad habits (smoking). The study revealed indirect dependence between cytogenetic disorders frequency and length of service.
