Environmental exposure of humans to bromide in the Dead Sea area: Measurement of genotoxicy and apoptosis biomarkers

In conclusion, residing near a bromide source site is increasing the bromide body burden, and enhancing genotoxicity with no detectible apoptosis. Furthermore, the selected biomarkers could serve as tools to assess the toxicity of bromide as a consequence of environmental exposure.
