In this research the genotoxic risk of the following Turkish occupational groups (furniture workers, nurses, operating room personnel, hospital sterilising staff, engine repair workers, road-paving workers, car painting workers and hair colorists) were evaluated. Results of some markers of exposure and cytogenetic biomarkers (sister chromatid exchange, micronucleus assay and comet assay) has been assessed in the above mentioned occupational groups.
