Abstract: The analyses of micronuclei in peripheral blood lymphocyte were performed in 40 female workers of printing house. The result s indicated that the rates of positive micronucleus , micronucleus cells and micronuclei in the printing workers were much higher than that in cont rol ( P < 0. 01) . The f requencies of micronucleus cells and micronuclei obviously increased as length of service goes on. The possible cause that the micronuclei increased in printing female workers was discussed.

Key words: Printing work, Female, Peripheral blood lymphocyte, Micronucleus
