Water pollution evaluation in Aswan, Egypt, utilizing biochemical and molecular indicators in aquatic Chironomidae larvae in natural and laboratory settings
Abstract:Heavy metal pollution has a harmful impact on the health of all living beings. The goal of this study was to compare the impacts of zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn) on two Egyptian streams in Aswan Governorate. In addition, aquatic Chironomidae larvae were exposed to a variety of heavy metal concentrations for two days. The mortality rate was determined, and the median lethal concentrations (LC50) were estimated. The most harmful metal for Chironomidae larvae was Pb, followed by Zn, Fe, and … Show more
