Association between occupational heat stress and DNA damage in lymphocytes of workers exposed to hot working environments in a steel industry in Southern India

Occupational heat stress apart from adverse heat-related health consequences also induces DNA damage in workers exposed to high working temperatures. We investigated the association between chronic heat exposures and Micronuclei (MN) frequency in lymphocytes of 120 workers employed in the steel indu...
