Abstract/Description: | The present study investigates the genotoxicity of profenofos (PFF), an organophosphate pesticide in erythrocyte cells of freshwater fish, Channa punctata (Bloch) using micronucleus assay. The 96 h LC 50 value of PFF (50% EC) was estimated for the fish species in a semistatic system and then 50% of LC 50 was determined as 1.15 ppb. The fish specimens were exposed to 1.15 ppb sublethal concentration of the pesticide and samplings were done on 24, 48, 72 and 96 h post exposure for assessment of DNAby micronucleus assay. The study confirms that PFF is toxic for aquatic organism and the micronucleus assay is a useful tool in determining the potential genotoxicity and mutagenicity of xenobiotic compounds and can be considered as sensitive parameter for toxicity monitoring program. |
