“…This phenomenon could explain the higher level of CAs compared with results reported by other investigators such as Joksic et al (1977). On the other hand, Joksic et al (1997) reported 0.13% CAs in the exposed group. However, they took only dicentric and ring chromosomes into account, which were not findings reported in our study.…”

“…Cytogenetic damage related to pesticide exposure has been reported in various populations. Some investigators have reported significant differences in the percentage of CAs in exposed individuals (range, 2.66-10.30%) compared with control (range, 0.53-5.52%) (Balaji and Sasikala 1993;Brega et al 1998;De Ferrari et al 1991;Joksic et al 1997; Kourakis et al 1992;Rupa and Reddi 1991;Yoder et al 1973); others have not (de Cassia Stocco et al 1982;Hoyos et al 1996;Steenland et al 1986).…”

“…El grupo control del pueblo aledaño al viñedo tenía aumentada la frecuencia de micronúcleos en células binucleadas de linfocitos. Los investigadores concluyen que dicho aumento se debe a la contaminación, principalmente por aire, que producen los plaguicidas que se aplican en el área (Joksic et al 1996).…”

Micronuclei and other nuclear abnormalities in the oral epithelium of female workers exposed to pesticides. In order to study if banana fields labour exposure to pesticides produces some kind of DNA damage, we determine the presence of micronuclei in epithelial oral cells in working women in Guapiles and Siquirres, Costa Rica, as an effect biomarker. We also analyzed other abnormalities in the nucleus of those cells such as broken-egg, karyolysis or kariorrhexis, to see if there was some kind of genotoxicity or citotoxicity. The women group exposed to pesticides worked in packing bananas plant from different independent farms. The control group of women had never done any farming tasks; they did not live in the banana fields, neither their husband. We got information about the life style, medical and familial history of the participants through an interview. We did not found any significant increment in the frequency of micronuclei form the exposed group compared with the controls. The other nuclei abnormalities showed signs of citotoxicity or genotoxicity in the controls, associated with the intake of coffee and dental x-rays. These results do not rule out at that pesticides used in packing bananas are agents capable of producing damage to the DNA, but it seems that micronuclei from the oral epithelium is not the most adequate marker to measure it. Rev. Biol Los plaguicidas se han asociado con efectos cancerígenos, teratógenos, mutagénicos, espermatogénicos, fetotóxicos, neurotóxicos o una combinación de varios de estos, tanto en seres humanos como en otras especies (Vega y Maroto l984, García 1997). Muchas plagas se han adaptado y presentan resistencia hacia uno o varios plaguicidas, lo que ha obligado al agricultor a recurrir a la combinación de estos para preparar "cocteles", sin conocer sus implicaciones en la salud humana o para el ambiente (García 1997, Hayes 1991.A nivel mundial existe desconocimiento acerca del daño que muchas de estas sustancias y sus mezclas pueden ocasionar. Según la Academia Nacional de Ciencias de los EE.UU., la información toxicológica es suficiente solo para 10% de los ingredientes activos comercializados de plaguicidas, para 52% es incompleta y para los 38% restantes no hay información (García l997). Si se buscan datos toxicológicos en seres humanos la información se reduce aún más, ya que por razones de tipo ético el estudio de los efectos adversos se realiza generalmente con animales de laboratorio (Castillo et al. 1995).El uso de plaguicidas es un riesgo para la salud de las comunidades en contacto con ellos, ya sea a mediano, corto o largo plazo. Por eso es tan importante en salud ocupacional

“…Several studies on the chromosomal effect of pesticides have been made using CA; the positive results obtained showed a correlation with the exposure time (Dulout et al, 1985;Paldy et al, 1987;Rupa et al, 1989a;Carbonell et al, 1993;Joksić et al, 1997;Kaioumova & Khabutdinova, 1998;Cuenca & Ramírez, 2004;Zeljezic et al, 2009). Other positive results did not find correlation between the exposure time and the CA induction (Rita et al, 1987;Rupa et al, 1988, 1989b, 1991a, El-Ghazali et al, 1990Kourakis et al, 1992;Scarpato et al, 1996;Amr, 1999;Au, 1999;Antonucci & de Syllos Colus, 2000;Lander et al, 2000;Paz-yMiño et al, 2002;Sailaja et al, 2006); meanwhile others authors although also found positive frequency of CA but did not determined this correlation (Nehéz et al, 1988;Jabloniká et al, 1989;De Ferrari et al, 1991;Carbonell et al, 1995;Mohammad et al, 1995;Kourakis et al, 1996;Lander et al, 2000;Garaj-Vrhovac & Zeljezic, 2001, 2002Ascarrunz et al, 2006;Ergene et al, 2007;Mañas et al, 2009).…”
