Kemerovo, Kemerovo, Russian Federation
Objective: to study the cytotoxic effects in workers of coal-fired thermal power plants. The paper analyzes the cytogenetic and proliferative parameters of blood cells in 50 employees of thermal power plants and state district power plants and 50 non-working residents of the Kemerovo region. Data have been obtained on the cytotoxic compound of compounds present in the environment of industrial enterprises at the plant of working coal-fired thermal power plants.
