Evaluation of plants for their tolerance to air pollution in industrial area a
case study in Karaikudi Region, Tamil Nadu, South India.

Abstract :

We investigated the effect of median-lethal concentration of mercuric chloride (0.13 ppm for 96 hrs) on the activities of acid and alkaline phosphatases, glutamate pyruvate and glutamate oxalo acetate transaminase, glucose-6-phosphatase, glucose and also glycogen and their recovery in the fingerlings of the fish Labeo rohita (Ham.). A significant reduction in acid and alkaline phosphatases, glucose-6-phosphatase and glucose activities and concomitant increase in glutamate pyruvate and glutamate oxalo acetate transaminase and glycogen activities have been observed in liver tissue when exposed to mercuric chloride. During the recovery, due to EDTA treatment to the mercury treated fish all the above parameters reached the near normal levels. The results suggested that the exposure of EDTA competitively reduced the mercuric chloride toxicity in the fingerlings of the fish Labeo rohita (Ham).
