OBJECTIVES ': 'The aim of the study was to detect single-strand breaks in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in mononuclear blood cells of fire fighters exposed to o-nitroanisole and other substances released into the environment during an accident in a chemical plant.'

'

METHODS ': 'The level of DNA single-strand breaks in mononuclear blood cells was detected by alkaline elution. The results for 16 fire fighters who worked in a contaminated area for about 8 h and two references groups (one of fire fighters who had not worked in the contaminated area and one of persons without any apparent occupational exposure to genotoxic substances).'

'

RESULTS ': 'The mean normalized elution rate (nER) 19 d after the accident was slightly but statistically significantly (P %K acute toxicity %K biomonitoring %K dna single-strand breaks %K fire fighter %K human mononuclear blood cells %K o-nitroanisole %R 10.5271/sjweh.6 %U https://www.sjweh.fi/show_abstract.php?abstract_id=6 %U https://doi.org/10.5271/sjweh.6 %P 36-42
