Chromosomal aberrations in isolated leukocytes were noted to be similar to those observed in other cases of accidental or therapeutic exposure to external radiation sources (Kelly and Dagle 1974). The cytogenetic damage observed was low and only grossly comparable to historical control values available to the authors. The limited human data do not indicate a significant genotoxic response to inhaled americium. No reports were located regarding genotoxic effects in animals following intermediate- or chronic-duration inhalation exposure to americium.
