As indicator of body-load of Cd, urineq Cd (UCd)concentrations were measured simultaneously. The People in polluted villages were divided into four groups according to vallous levels of UCd concentrations: ~ 2 .5, 2 .5 ~, 5 .0 ~, 10.0 ~ (μg/l).There was significant difference in MN rates between the exposed and control groups (3 .47, 5 .06,8.06, 12 .75‰ for the exposed groups respectively, and 3. 10‰ for the controls), and significant correlation between MN rates and UCd was observed. Although no markesd difference in CA rates was noted between UCd 5 .0 ~ and 10 .0 ~ groups, there was significant difference in CA rates between the exposed and control groups (3. 07,5. 21, 7. 21, 8. 50% for exposed groups respectively, and2 .33% for the controls) and significant correlation between CA rates and UCd. CA was presented mainly in the form of chromatid and chromosome gaps and breaks. Together with our another study 'An Investigation on Human Health Effects by Envimnmental Cadmium Pollution', the results suggest that Cd may injure human chromosomes and that the damage appears to be concentrated on cytogenetic material and may happen earlier than renal disfunction展开更多
