Genotoxicity of Soil

چکیده
A review of the literature published on the genotoxicity of soil is presented in this report. Subheadings of the report include outlines of genotoxicity assays that have been used to examine the soil samples and methods commonly used to prepare soil samples for genotoxicity assay, and a review of the genotoxicity of soil. Soil has been grouped according to potential sources of pollution, e.g. industrial activity, agricultural practices and motor vehicles. The possible causes of the genotoxicity of the soil are also mentioned.

DNA damage caused by pesticide-contaminated soil.
OBJECTIVE To determine the DNA damaging potential and the genotoxicity of individual compounds in pesticide contaminated soil. METHODS In the present study, DNA damaging potential of pesticide-contaminated soil and the genotoxicity of individual compounds present in the soil were assessed using fluorimetric analysis of DNA unwinding assay. RESULTS The contaminated soil sample showed 79% (P ...
متن کاملEffect of nonaqueous-phase liquids on the availability of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in soil for worm uptake and bacterial genotoxicity.
A study was conducted to determine the effect of nonaqueous-phase liquids (NAPLs) on the bioavailability of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in soil. Sentry 19 oil and pristane reduced the availability of BaP for assimilation by the earthworm Eisenia fetida and for mutagenicity in a rifampicin-sensitive strain of Pseudomonas putida. As much as 80% of the compound could be rendered unavailable to the worms ...
متن کاملLead-induced genotoxicity to Vicia faba L. roots in relation with metal cell uptake and initial speciation.
Formation of organometallic complexes in soil solution strongly influence metals phytoavailability. However, only few studies deal with the influence of metal speciation both on plant uptake and genotoxicity. In the present study, Vicia faba seedlings were exposed for 6h in controlled hydroponic conditions to 5 μM of lead nitrate alone and chelated to varying degrees by different organic ligand...
متن کاملGenotoxicity of pesticide waste contaminated soil and its leachate.
OBJECTIVE Improper land disposal of hazardous waste can result in leaching of hazardous constituents which may contaminate ground and surface water leading to adverse impact on human health and environment consequences. The present study utilized mammalian cell culture for the genotoxicity assessment of waste and its leachate. METHODS Genotoxic potential and chemical analysis of pesticide der...
متن کاملGenotoxicity of bioremediated soils from the Reilly Tar site, St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
An in vitro approach was used to measure the genotoxicity of creosote-contaminated soil before and after four bioremediation processes. The soil was taken from the Reilly Tar site, a closed Superfund site in Saint Louis Park, Minnesota. The creosote soil was bioremediated in bioslurry, biopile, compost, and land treatment, which were optimized for effective treatment. Mutagenicity profiles of d...
