Genotoxicity evaluation of drinking water and rates of population morbidity in North Kazakhstan oblast
The genotoxicity assay of drinking water in regional centers of North Kazakhstan oblast is carried out by a cytogenetic ana-telophase method using barley root tips. It is shown that drinking water of North Kazakhstan oblast is able to cause cytogenetic damages. A direct correlation between genotoxic properties of drinking water and the rates of congenital abnormalities, malignant neoplasms (by one of the most common localization in the oblast – a stomach cancer), gastric and duodenal ulcers among the population are revealed.
