Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Hospital workers are at risk for genotoxic damage following occupationally exposure to xenobiotics. Pathologists are exposed to chemicals during their use in health care environments, particularly throughout inhalation of airborne agents, absorption through skin or contact with the patient's body fluids. OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the level of genomic damage in a sample of 61 hospital pathologists...
