Background: Multiple epidemiological studies have shown that exposure to pesticides is
associated with adverse health outcomes. However, the literature on pesticide-related …

In agricultural activities, pest control is essential, and the most effective method is the use of
chemical agents that also represent an important source of exposure to potentially toxic …

A biomarker-based approach using micronucleus (MN)(extranuclear DNA-containing
bodies) frequencies in buccal cells has been proposed to monitor workers exposed to aero …

This study reviews global trends in the publication of papers on the micronucleus test of the
exfoliated cells of the oral mucosa in mammals as an approach for environmental …

The micronucleus (MN) test of the human buccal mucosa was developed more than 30
years ago, although this technique has only recently been applied to wild mammals. This …

This study identified and determined organochloride pesticide (OCs) concentrations in hair
samples from children at two elementary schools: one exposed to fumigations in agricultural …

The micronucleus (MN) test in exfoliated cells of the buccal mucosa is a relatively non-
invasive method for the monitoring of populations exposed to genotoxic risks. In this study …

The current review looks for relationships between results from biomarker studies with
micronucleus and health effects related to reproduction and children. In adults, an age …
