Cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of surface water from the Pitimbu river, northeastern/RN Brazil
In this study, the onion (Allium cepa) root test was used to evaluate the genotoxicity of the Pitimbu River (Natal city, Brazil) surface water. The water was collected at five sampling sites along the river and one sample was obtained after the treatment (flocculation, chlorination and pH correction...
