For individuals with multiple exposures to bone marrow mutagens the glycophorin A (GPA) assay appears to detect the cumulative genotoxic effects of these nonspecific exposures. To determine whether workers exposed to organophosphates and/or carbamate pesticides have more GPA variants compared with controls, this cross-sectional cohort study examined 67 Latino farm workers, most of whom were exposed to...
