The chromosome and chromatid type aberration can be induced by benzene and the dicentric and ring ones were not observed in vitro experiment but observed in vivo one. In vitro experiment a good linear regression can be given between benzene concentrations and total aberration cells while power regression for radiation dose. The chromosome aberrations induced by benzene combined with radiation in rabbit blood lymphocytes are higher than in bone marrow cells.
