Article Synopsis
- The study examined DNA and oxidative damage in mice due to organic contaminants from wastewater-irrigated soil near Tangshan, China, comparing it with control soil irrigated by clean groundwater.
- Organic pollutants were extracted using ultrasonic oscillation and analyzed through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), revealing higher concentrations and diversity of contaminants in the wastewater-irrigated soil.
- Results showed that mice exposed to contaminated soil had lower antioxidant enzyme activity and increased DNA damage markers, supporting the idea that mammalian toxicity indicators can assess pollution levels and the cumulative impact of pollutants in soil.
