Cytogenetic effects of potassium bromate KBrO3 associated with Iraqi baking industry

Azhar M Haleem

Abstract :

 This study was aimed to determin the potassium omate content of most consumed loaves within Baghdad city, and evaluating the cytogenetic effects of potassium omated at bakery workers by measuring mitotic index (MI) blastogenic index (BI) and chromosomal aberrations (CA) beside measuring of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) activity in both healthy and exposed groups. The findings referred to includes two type of Iraqi loaves KBrO3,  electrical samun 10 ± 2.34 and loaf 0.3±0.12. The exposed workers have high chromosomal aberration represented by CB,RC and MN. While DHFR activity suffered graduated reduction depending on age group and years of services
