The ceramic sector is an important industrial activity around the world. Ceramic workers are potentially exposed to a wide range of chemical mixtures mainly silica. Occupational exposure to silica dust is still considered to be a health problem in the ceramic industry, especially in developing countries. On the other hand, apart from silica, ceramic workers can expose to many hazardous and genotoxic chemicals such as metals and metal oxides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and nanoparticles. This review aims to summarize data retrieved from studies about genotoxic effects in ceramic workers and other studies about the genotoxic effects of ceramic materials mainly silica. Overall, the data in this review confirm that increased DNA damage in the different cells of ceramic workers demonstrates the possibility of health risks in the individuals exposed to ceramic materials.
