Evaluation of the genotoxic effect of heavy metals in pigeons from urban and rural habitat in Monterrey, Mexico, using the chromatin dispersion assay.

Conclusions: Our preliminary findings demonstrate that PE examination via chromatin dispersion assay is a reliable, precise, and inexpensive morphological bioassay for evaluating environmental genotoxicity associated with heavy metals. Further studies for evaluating the individual participation of contaminants in DNA damage are needed. PMID: 32969739 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
