摘要: In the industrial area of Chinhat, Lucknow (India) wastewater coming from pesticide manufacturing and other industries is used to irrigate agricultural crops. This practice has been polluting soil pollutants might reach food chain. Gas chromatographic analysis revealed presence certain organochlorine pesticides in samples. Samples were extracted using different solvents, i.e., hexane, acetonitrile, methanol, chloroform, acetone (all HPLC-grade, SRL, India). Soil extracts assayed for mutagenicity Ames Salmonella/mammalian microsome test. Mutagenicity was observed test samples TA98 most responsive strain all (irrigated with wastewater) terms mutagenic index (+S9) absence (−S9) metabolic activation. slope (m) linear dose–response curve exhibited highest sensitivity against S9 fraction. Hexane-extracted sample (wastewater) maximum net revertants per gram mix as compared extracts. Groundwater-irrigated displayed low level wastewater-irrigated soil. The accumulating a large number due irrigation this accumulation an adverse impact on health.
