We evaluated the hypothesis that an exposure of at least 20 hours per week with reagents during academic practice or research projects of teachers, workers and students of Chemistry and Chemistry Engineering Faculty of San Marcos University, caused an increase in biomarkers of exposure of early effect. The frequency of micronuclei in the oral mucosa was analyzed to check the cytogenetic effect in two populations: Problem Group and Control Group. In each population was taken three groups totaling 85 individuals: teachers (mean age: 56,6 ± 6,48), non-teaching staff (mean age: 48,5 ± 17,5) and students (mean age 25,14 ± 4,99). We used the micronucleus test (Mn) in epithelial cells of the oral mucosa. When comparing the values obtained from DNA damage for each individual and for statistical analysis, ANOVA was applied with a significance value of 95% reliability. Damage was found at the c...
