✦ Synopsis

Risk assessment of environmental pollutants is concerned with the identification of compounds in the environment that might be hazardous to human health: measuring exposure levels, measuring cellular damage and then estimating the probability of harm occurring. The feasibility of such a comprehensive approach has been explored in this study of two groups of workers, one of which may be occupationally exposed to exhaust fumes. No statistically significant difference in cellular damage, as measured by the lymphocyte micronucleus assay, was found between these two groups of workers, although clear differences in exposure levels to volatile organic compounds were detected. A number of other factors identified in the study did show clear effects on micronucleus frequency.
