Sažetak
Chromosomal damage in the lymphocytes from the peripheral blood were studied in two groups of inhabitants living for generations near a lead smelting plant and in a control group. In the exposed groups the concentration of lead in blood was increased. These groups showed in a certain number of analysed mitoses structural abnormalities compared with none in the control group. A relationship between chromosomal aberrations and the variable »residence time« was not found to indicate that chromosomal damage was induced by a direct effect of lead.
