Acute arsenic exposure induces cyto-genotoxicity and histological alterations in Labeo rohita.

J Trace Elem Med Biol

January 2025

Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture, University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Lahore, Pakistan. Electronic address:

Background: Arsenic emerges as most potent hazardous element ranked as number one in ATSDR (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry) list, can easily accumulate in fish, transported to humans via consumption and affect humans and aquatic organisms. Considering above, current experiment designed to evaluate cyto-genotoxicity and histological alterations induced by arsenic in Labeo rohita used as an animal model.

Methods: By applying complete randomized design sampling acclimatized individuals of Labeo rohita (10 batches of 10 each with triplicates) were exposed to nine definitive doses (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28 mgL) of arsenic in glass aquaria to determine 96-h lethal concentration (LC) of arsenic.

The use of pesticides in commercial farms can lead to exposure among various vulnerable groups. This study assessed the distribution, human health risks, and origins of 13 targeted organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in soil samples from commercial farms in Southern Nigeria. Following a questionnaire survey on pesticide usage, soil samples were subjected to Soxhlet extraction and analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Article Synopsis
  • Environmental exposures are common and significantly affect public health, leading to chronic and infectious diseases, but there's a lack of comprehensive data on the health impacts of these contaminants.
  • Simulation science has emerged as a solution to address data gaps by using computational methods like PBPK modeling and QSAR modeling to assess environmental health risks more efficiently.
  • The ATSDR (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry) effectively utilizes these simulation tools, gaining recognition from external researchers and collaborating across various sectors to enhance public health protection.
