Abstract
According to the epidemiological studies in chromium workers, hexavalent chromium is associated with the risk of lung cancer. Genotoxicity such as chromosome aberration, and cellular oxidative damages by reactive oxygen species produced by hexavalent chromium exposure may play an important role in the carcinogenesis process. We investigated the availabilities of several kinds of biological markers to assess the genotoxicity and oxidative damages from chromium exposure in Korean chromium plating workers.(omitted)
