DNA damage in buccal mucosa cells of pre-school children exposed to high levels of urban air pollutants

Air pollution has been recognized as a human carcinogen. Children living in urban areas are a high-risk group, because genetic damage occurring early in life is considered able to increase the risk of carcinogenesis in adulthood. This study aimed to investigate micronuclei (MN) frequency, as a bioma...
