Detection of DNA damage in lead (Pb) exposed city traffic wardens in Pakistan

Abstract: Lead (Pb) is one of the toxic metals and is commonly used in industries. It affects multiple systems and has role in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The objective of the present study was to determine Pb levels and to detect DNA damage in traffic wardens of Lahore, Pakistan. A total of 90 subjects were selected including 60 traffic wardens working in field and 30 working in administrative zones. The wardens who were working in field were considered as cases (exposed by the lead polluted enviro… Show more

“…On exposure to industrial waste water, fish would enhance the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to which activity of antioxidant enzymes increases (Prakash, 2021). Many xenobiotics use general toxicity mechanism by causing oxidative stress in fish which is a pathological process related to increase production of ROS (Nazish, et. al., 2018).…”
