Abstract: Title of thesis: Studies on the effect of environmental pollutants on laboratory animals with special reference to histo-pathological alteration
ABSTRACT:
We found an increase in levels of iron, manganese, lead, cadmium and nickel in water samples collected from El khsab canal in El Tebbin Helwan. Also levels of metals in cultivated soils were higher than uncultivated one in soils samples collected from same area. While plant sample showed an increase in levels of iron, manganese, lead, cadmium and nickel. Rats treated by different doses of cadmium and lead for 12 weeks showed histopathological alteration in liver, kidney and brain in dose and time dependant manner. Haemogram revealed decrease in erythrocytic count and hemoglobin concentration and increase in WBCs count. Also there was an increase in glucose concentration in all groups.
