The DNA-damaging ability of benzene and its metabolites on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) has been investigated by using the alkaline comet assay. The PBMC were incubated with different compounds in two different media for 2 and 24 hr at concentrations that did not affect cell viability a

## Abstract The mutagenic and carcinogenic effects of genotoxic agents on exposed people have constituted an increasing concern. Therefore, the objective of this work was to assess DNA damage in lymphocytes of workers exposed to Xβradiation using the cytokinesisβblocked micronucleus test and the co
Medicinal plants play a major role in the life of Turkish people and of late medicinal plant usage has increased in many countries. Green plants in general contain mutagenic and carcinogenic substances, but there is little information about the biological activities of herbal medicine. In the presen
In the present paper the possible DNA damaging effects of ultrasound in occupationally exposed medical personnel were investigated using the alkaline comet assay. The extent of DNA migration in peripheral blood leucocytes was measured. Parameters of the comet assay were studied in 30 medical workers
