Abstract:Introduction: Artisanal mining in Peru is an activity that generates a risk of exposure to different compounds, among which mercury and particulate matter stand out.

Our objective was to determine the micronucleus count in buccal cells of artisanal miners in Peru during 2020.
Methods: We designed a cross-sectional study where 80 artisanal miners were evaluated who underwent scraping in the inner area of the che… Show more
