Tissue-Specific Genotoxic Effects of Low-Dose Glyphosate-Based Herbicide (Roundup) Exposure in Juvenile Clarias gariepinus

Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world today and has increased in use as weed resistance has developed. Due to its effectiveness and affordability, “Roundup”, a commercialized formulation of glyphosate, is today the second most widely used herbicide in urban areas and in agriculture. The increased use of glyphosate and glyphosatebased herbicides has led to adverse toxic effects on the environment, animals, and humans, even at low concentrations.

Toxicity Bio-Indices as Indicators of Water Portability

Genotoxicity testing represents a powerful line of evidence for assessing impacts from chemical contaminants in drinking water. In this study, fifteen brands of sachet water, five of which do not have the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) registration numbers, were collected in the Benin metropolitan city square in Edo State of Nigeria and subjected to cytological evaluation using the macroscopic and microscopic parameters in Allium cepa L.
