Abstract excerpt
The first objective of our study was to analyse whether biomarkers for genotoxic effects (DNA breaks and alkali-labile sites and micronucleus and non-disjunction frequencies) could be fully validated for biomonitoring workers chronically exposed to ionizing radiation (IR). Blood samples of controls and individuals chronically exposed to IR were analysed. The interindividual variation was reduced when the comet...
