Abstract

Hydrofluoric acid (HF), a solution of hydrogen fluoride in water, is widely used in producing refrigerants, drugs, plastics and aluminums. HF is not a strong acid, but it is a highly corrosive acid, capable of dissolving many materials. In this investigation, HF-induced oxidative DNA damage in lymphocytes was evaluated by comet assay. The ameliorative effect of phytochemicals on the HF-induced oxidative DNA damage was also investigated.
