Abstract
The genotoxic effect of malathion was investigated in human peripheral blood leucocyte of occupationally exposed field workers and the haemo globin content was also estimated. It was observed that the haemoglobi n content was indirectly proportional to the period of exposure and th e chromosomal aberrations were directly proportional to the period of exposure.
