Comment on “Micronucleus Evaluation in Exfoliated Human Buccal Epithelium Cells among E-Waste Workers in Payatas, the Philippines”

Abstract

I read the manuscript recently published by Berame et al.1 in the Journal of Health & Pollution titled “Micronucleus Evaluation in Exfoliated Human Buccal Epithelium Cells among E-Waste Workers in Payatas, the Philippines” with much interest. In this article, the authors detected high frequencies of micronucleus and karyolysis in buccal mucosa cells from individuals exposed to e-waste. However, it is important to properly discuss the scientific approach for a correct understanding of the paper.
