| the influence of heavy metals on toxicogenetic damage in a brazilian tropical river. | anthropogenic activities in tropical rivers favor the eutrophication process, which causes increased concentration of heavy metals. the presence and bioaccumulation of metals are directly related to the presence of genotoxic damage in aquatic organisms. thus, we evaluated the presence of heavy metals (fe, zn, cr, cu and al) and performed toxicogenetic tests in surface (s) and bottom (b) of water samples of the poti river (piaui/brazil). cytotoxicity and genotoxicity tests were performed in alliu ... | 2017 | 28735238 |
