Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the frequency of nuclear damage in the buccal cells of road construction workers in Anambra state, Nigeria. Methods: In this study, the frequency of nuclear abnormalities – cells with micronuclei (CMN), total MN (TMN), binucleate (BN) cells, cells with nuclear bud, and karyorrhectic cells, in exfoliated buccal cells of 33 road construction workers and 33 control subjects consisting of healthy persons was evaluated. Demographic data and exposure characteristics of the participants were obtained using a structured questionnaire. Buccal smears were obtained from both cheeks for each participant. The smears were stained using papanicolaou staining technique. At least 1000 cells in each smear w...
