Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Occupational exposure to nitrous oxide (N(2)O) and/or halogenated hydrocarbons has been suggested to induce damage of genetic material, but the underlying mechanisms remain obscure. This study investigated the role of oxidative processes in the genotoxicity associated with exposure to waste anaesthetic gases. METHODS: The study was performed in 36 female nurses and in 36 unexposed female health care...
