High lead exposure is associated with telomere length shortening in Chinese battery manufacturing plant workers

26 Apr 2012

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Critically shortening of telomere length caused by various factors including environmental pollutants results in genome instability and age-associated diseases. Lead is one of the ubiquitous environmental and occupational pollutants, potentially affecting public health even at a low level. However, it is still unclear whether lead exposure affects telomere length. This study aims to investigate the...
