TOXICOLOGICAL IMPACT OF DISTILLERY SOIL LEACHATE ON SERUM BIOCHEMISTRY OF SWISS ALBINO MICE (MUS MUSCULUS LINN)

摘要

Contamination of ground water by industrial waste poses potential health hazards for man and his environment. In the present study, we evaluate the toxic potential of distillery soil leachate (5-20%) for 15 days in Swiss albino mice. A significant alteration has been observed in serum biochemical parameters viz. AST, ALT, Urea, Creatinine, Bilirubin, Acid Phosphatase, Alkaline Phosphatase, Cholesterol, Protein, Globulin and Albumin comparison to control animals. The serum biochemical parameters of exposed mice did not recovered in post-treated group. Present study infers contamination potential of distillery soil leachate in the ground water.
