Impact of Distillery Soil Leachate on Haematology of Swiss Albino Mice (Mus musculus)

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology volume 79, pages 273–277 (2007)Cite this article

Abstract

This study reports significant alterations in various haematological parameters such as red and white blood corpuscles counts, haemoglobin content and packed cell volume in adult Swiss albino mice orally administered with diluted distillery soil leachate (5%–20%) for 30 days. Soil leachate also affected red blood cell morphology (poikilocytosis). The haematology of exposed mice improved in the reversal groups. Present study infers contamination potential of distillery soil leachate in the groundwater.
