Abstract
  Crude oil is enriched in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Many PAH analogs have proved to potentially damage DNA. DNA damage can be assessed using various biomarkers to find out the degree of genotoxicity of pollutants following in vitro exposure. In this research the comet assay and micronucleus ...  Read More

Abstract
  Malathion (S-(1, 2-dicarboethoxyethyl) O, O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate) is one of the organophosphate pesticides comprehensively used in agriculture fields throughout the world. In spite of widely used, little information are available about DNA damage in aquatic organisms. Therefore, the present study ...  Read More
