摘要: Soil samples from agricultural fields in the vicinity of industrial area Jajmau, Kanpur (India) were collected and found to be heavily contaminated with various toxic heavy metals. GC-MS analysis revealed presence organic compounds mainly phthalates soils. Samples extracted using dichloromethane (DCM) hexane solvents, extracts assayed for genotoxic potential three different bioassays namely Ames Salmonella/mammalian microsome test, DNA repair defective Escherichia coli K-12 mutants Allium cepa chromosomal aberration assay. TA98 was most sensitive strain all soil tested. The highest mutagenic observed DCM as compared each Salmonella typhimurium. exhibited maximum damage cells at a dose 40 μl extracts/ml culture after 6-h treatment. survival 23% polA, 40% lexA 53% recA when treated extract site I. In A. assay, test concentrations (5-100%) affected mitotic index dose-dependent manner several types abnormalities stages treatments: C-mitosis, anaphase bridges, laggards, binucleated cells, stickiness, broken unequal distributions chromosomes stage cell division. is accumulating large number pollutants result wastewater irrigation this practice accumulation has an adverse impact on health.
