Humans have the enzyme hSMUG1, which removes any U residues that occur in single-stranded DNA during replication or transcription.  Two other human DNA glycosylases, TDG and MBD4, remove either U or T residues paired with G, generated by deamination of cytosine or 5-methylcytosine, respectively.

DNA glycosylases recognize and remove formamidopyrimidine and 8-hydroxyguanine (both arising from purine oxidation), hypoxanthine (arising from adenine deamination), and alkylated bases such as 3-methyladenine and 7-methylguanine.
