Abstract
Description
In this study, the potential genotoxic effects of dishwashing detergent and chlorine bleach, which pollute aquatic ecosystems due to domestic, industrial and general uses were investigated on the standard test organism Guppy (Poecillia reticulata Peters, 1859) by using the fish erythrocyte micronucleus test. The fish were exposed to dishwashing detergent and chlorine bleach at 15 μl/L concentration for 96 hours and blood samples were taken after 96 hours from Poecillia reticulata. Micronuclei and nucleus morphological irregularities were compared to control group and an increase was observed in the fish exposed to household cleaning agents for 96 hours.
