    Notes: Summary Exposure to toxins in the environment and due to personal habits, e. g., tobacco smoking, may increase the rate of spontaneous sister chromatid exchange (SCE). The SCE in lymphocytes from a group of 31 patients with multiple epidermal cancer, who in the past had been exposed to various skin carcinogens, as a whole exceeded that of a control group — matched by sex, age, and smoking habits — but the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.08). The individual SCE in these patients was also statistically independent of the nature of the carcinogenic exposure. We were unable to detect correlations between the SCE and UVC-radiation induced DNA synthesis, UVC-radiation tolerance, or rate of X-ray damage repair. This suggests that the molecular mechanisms involved in SCE induction and in repair of radiation damage are basically independent.

    Notes: Summary Thirty-five spraymen, who were varnishing vehicles with alkyd-, phenol- and polyestervarnishes, which were dissolved in solvent mixtures mainly containing o-, m-, p-xylene and ethylbenzene, have been investigated. The concentrations of these solvents in air were 2.1, 7.9, 2.8 and 4.0 ppm on average. The levels of alkylbenzenes in blood and those of their metabolites in urine have been determined. At two of the six working places the spraymen were additionally exposed to n-butanol, respectively 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and several C9-aromatic hydrocarbons. Some of the lacquers contained lead pigments. Alterations of blood cell counts have been observed under the described conditions of exposure. On average the number of lymphocytes was higher than that of segmented granulocytes. Erythrocytes and hemoglobin level of the spraymen were lower than those of the controls.
