Sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies in employees potentially exposed to ethylene oxide (ETO) were compared with those in unexposed control groups. Three worksites where the previous environmental control of ETO was known to have differed were chosen. Within these worksites, subjects were categorized into high potential exposed, low potential exposed and control groups. An additional community control group was obtained. Blood samples for chromosome studies of peripheral lymphocytes were drawn at several time points over a period of 24 months. The effects on SCE of age, sex, smoking habits and reader variation were considered. Worksites I, II and III, respectively, represented increasing levels of exposure. At Worksite III large differences among groups persisted over 24 months. At Worksite II, the SCEs in the high potential exposed workers were higher than those in the other groups. At no time was the low potential exposed group at Worksite II statistically significantly higher in mean SCE than the worksite controls. No consistent differences among groups were noted in Worksite I.
