Cytogenetic damage in buccal epithelia and peripheral lymphocytes of young healthy individuals exposed to ozone

Abstract excerpt

Ozone (O(3)) is an important component of air pollution and a potent oxidant of biomolecules. To address the hypothesis that elevated ambient O(3) can induce cytogenetic damage in healthy people, we collected buccal cells from two groups of students (N = 126) from University of California, Berkeley, in the spring and again in the fall. One group spent their summer in the Los Angeles (LA) area where summer O(3)...
