Biomonitoring of four European populations occupationally exposed to pesticides: use of micronuclei as biomarkers.

abstract：:The use of DNA adduct analysis has previously focused on the use of marine organisms for biomonitoring, whereas similar investigations in freshwater organisms are sparse. In that context, we have investigated the relevance of DNA adducts as biomarkers of genotoxicity in the freshwater mussels Dreissena polymorpha. The...
