The study population was divided into three distinct categories. Group I comprised 100 individuals occupationally exposed to chromium (Cr) in tannery industries. Group II included 100 individuals who resided near tannery industries but were not occupationally exposed to Cr. Finally, Group III contained 100 healthy individuals who had never been exposed to Cr. Inductively coupled plasma\u2012mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to measure Cr in all blood samples. Malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) concentrations were used to quantify oxidative stress. A comet assay was used to determine the extent of DNA damage, and the lengths of comet tails in both the exposed and control groups were measured.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Cr, MDA, SOD, and DNA damage levels were significantly greater in the exposed groups than in the control groups (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001), whereas GSH levels were significantly lower (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study\u2019s findings indicate that timely identification of the detrimental impacts of Cr on individuals employed in tanneries is highly important for mitigating health risks and minimizing exposure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijoem.ijoem_43_24","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,31]],"date-time":"2025-03-31T09:13:06Z","timestamp":1743412386000},"page":"25-31","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Occupational and Non-Occupational Exposure to Chromium Induces Oxidative Stress and DNA Damage in the Population Near Kanpur Tanneries"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Pragya","family":"Verma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Zoology, Dr. Ghanshyam Singh P.
