The study population was 81 people; 54 individuals (29 exposed and 25 not exposed) corresponded to the female gender; and, of the masculine gender there were 27 individuals (15 exposed and 12 not exposed). In the test of micronuclei and AN of both genders, it was statistically significant, between the exposed and unexposed group, being more evident in women due to the 15-fold increase in micronuclei. |
