Abstract

We have examined oil industry workers employed in oil fields in the north of Siberia, using morphometric and cytogenetic methods. It was determined that a worker group with the above 10-year record of service showed significant decrease in the number of asthenic individuals. It was determined that the frequency of micronucleated buccal cells in the oil industry workers were significantly increased in accordance with the length of work, which can be induced by oil mutagenic compounds as well as other extreme natural and anthropogenic factors of the oil fields.
