Risk Assessment of Groundwater of Sanganer Industrial Area (Jaipur) on Hematology of Swiss Albino Mice

Abstract

Blood is primary target to environmental toxicants. Hematological study is an important diagnostic tool and has proved that they may be used as valuable sensitive indicators of toxicity due to different pollutant. Hematological values are widely used to determine systematic relationship and physiological adaptations including the assessment of general health conditions. In the present study, long term exposure (180 days) of groundwater of Sanganer Industrial Area on various Hematological parameters (RBC count, WBC count, Hb%, PCV, MCV, MCH, MCHC, poikilocytosis and anisocytosis of RBC) in Mus musculus.
