Article Synopsis
- Several studies show the presence of aluminum and diclofenac in global water bodies, and both substances can cause oxidative stress and harm aquatic life.
- The study evaluated the effects of these contaminants in mixture on juvenile Cyprinus carpio (common carp) by measuring DNA damage, cell death, and embryo development after specific exposure periods.
- The results indicated that both contaminants, individually and in combination, lead to significant genotoxic damage, increased apoptosis (cell death), and delays in embryonic development, highlighting the risks posed by these environmental pollutants.
