Abstract
ABSTRACT:
Keeping in view the significance of lead as an environmental pollutant,
an attempt was made to investigate the levels of lead in vegetation and
livestock, and other bimarkers of lead-induced health hazards in two areas
viz.. Uppal area of Hyderabad and Dairy Experimental Station (DES) of
College of Veterinary Science, Hyderabad.
Lead concentrations in fodder, water, blood and milk was determined
by the GFAAS (Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry).
The rnean lead concentration in fodder, buffalo blood and milk from Uppal
area was 30.34fi.97, 0.2QM.04 and 0.19H.02 ppm, respedively, where as
ths rnean lead comemation in fodder, buffalo blood and milk from DES area
was 73.16i27.40.0 .98M.08a nd 0.6M.06p pm, respectively.
Smm and Mood samples were analyzed for total protein, albumin,
globulin, albumin: globulin ratio, creatinine, SOPT, ALP, RBC, WBC and Hb
concentration. The buPFeloes of Uppal areas had significantly (pc0.001) higher
total pratein. albumin, globulin, cregtinine, SGPT, ALP, RBC and Hb than the
buffaloes of DES area. Further, a negative mlation was observed when the
concentration of lead was compared to the concentrations of other trace
minerals like iron and zinc in biological samples.
