Resum

The present study was carried out to evaluate the genotoxicity of tritium, administered as tritiated water, in peripheral blood human lymphocyte cultures. Sister-chromatid exchanges (SCE) and chromosome aberrations (CA) were scored as genetic endpoints. From our results we can conclude that β-radiation from low concentrations of tritium was able to induce a significant increase in the frequency of CA, although it was ineffective in increasing the frequency of SCE. © 1994.
