Meer over het boek

The study investigates the impact of pesticide and heavy metal contamination on various snail species, specifically Biomphalaria alexandrina and Helisoma duryi. It evaluates the biochemical and molecular effects of pesticides like Atrazine and Roundup, as well as Malathion and Deltamethrin, alongside the influence of aluminum chloride and zinc sulphate. The research highlights the growing concern over heavy metals in snails, emphasizing their potential as bioindicators for assessing water pollution and its implications for public health.
