Results and discussion

Results:
The mean mitotic index in exposed workers (7.86) was found significantly higher than in controls (4.60). Cromosomal aberration were observed to be elevated in exposed group . Frequency of Syster Chomatide Exchange in exposed workers (6.49) was significantly higher than controls (5.62). Exposed group showed about two fold increase in the frequency of satellite associations (13.4) as compared with controls (7.91).

Any other information on results incl. tables

It may be concluded that the petrol pump workers are at risk to cytogenetic demage at their work places.
