DNA damage and genomic instability among workers formerly and currently exposed to asbestos

DNA damage and genomic instability among workers formerly and currently exposed to asbestos

OBJECTIVES: Despite an asbestos ban in the European Union, exposure to asbestos still represents an occupational risk. Biomarkers of DNA damage and genomic instability in groups exposed to asbestos may contribute to the identification of subgroups/subjects at higher risk. METHODS: A cross-sectional...
