Abstract: The chromosome aberration rate and micronucleus rate of peripheral blood lymphocytes in 103 coal mine workers were examined by conventional culture method. It showes that, compared with general public, the chromosomal aberration rate and micronucleus rate of these workers are not significantly different. There are significant differences between different age groups among these workers, and both indicators tend to rise with age and working time.

Key words: Coal mine worker, Occupational health monitoring, Chromosomal aberration, Micronucleus rate
