COMBINATION EFFECTS OF CADMIUM AND BENZO[α]PYRENE ON ACUTE TOXICITY AND METABOLIC ENZYMES ACTIVITIES OF RUDITAPES PHILIPPINARUM
|
Abstract:
Cadmium(Cd) is a nonessential element and is potentially highly toxic to human,animal and plant,even at low doses.It accumulates within the bodies of organisms,alters and degrades processes of enzyme activation,causes cell damage and results in organism death.Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) are common coastal environmental organic pollutants derived from petroleum,ocean shipping and industry sewage.It is a global problem since these compounds are known to be highly mutagenic and carcinogenic,as well ...
