“…This study revealed chromosomal irregularities in mitotic cells of Allium cepa when exposed to different concentrations of HgCl 2 . The results revealed a range of chromosomal abnormalities at various stages of mitosis in onion roots exposed to the chemical, indicating that this chemical can be used as a sterilizer or disinfectant alone or in combination with other chemicals as a catalyst (Simon et al 2006) and has genotoxic and mutagenic properties (Silva-Pereira 2005; Shalan 2022). The genotoxicity of mercury primarily results from its capacity to react with the sulfhydryl groups of tubulins.…”

“…Mercuric chloride (HgCl 2 ) is a chemical compound consisting of mercury and chlorine atoms. It is a laboratory reagent regularly used as a catalyst for converting acetylene to vinyl chloride, the precursor for polyvinyl chloride synthesis (Simon et al 2006). In addition, HgCl 2 functions as a depolarizer in batteries.…”

“…Além disso, as associações de metais são dinâmicas e irreversíveis, refletindo mudanças nas condições físico-químicas do meio (WARREN & HAACK, 2001). O mercúrio é um dos metais que podem sofrer metilação nos ambientes naturais principalmente nos sedimentos (CAMPBELL et al, 1988;NIENEHESKI et al, 2001;ANDERSON et al, 2004 (WHO, 1989;SIMON et al, 1990;DE VITO, 1995;CHEMINFO, 2000).…”
