The content of heavy metals in the body and karyological indicators of genotoxicity
Abstract
We studied possible relations between heavy metal content and cytogenetic characteristics of exfoliated buccal cells. To this end, we examined children living in the area where the tungsten-molybdenum plant is located. Despite the increased content of heavy metals in environmental objects, their accumulation in the hair of children was not detected. Significant correlations were found between the content of manganese, zinc and copper in the hair with the indicators of cell proliferation.
