Abstract
A fungicide from the phthalimide class exhibited cytotoxic and genotoxic effects on human peripheral blood lymphocytes in vitro. At the pesticide concentration of 2.5-25 μg/ml, an increase in the pool of cells in late apoptosis and necrosis was observed. The effect depended on the concentration and the exposure time. An increase in the level of DNA damage in the cells of some donors was noted already at concentrations of 5-12.5 μg/ml. At 25 μg/ml, a statistically significant increase in the «% DNA in the tail comet» parameter was found in lymphocyte of 47 out of 48 donors.
