Heavy metals are stable and persistent environmental contaminants. The range of metal concentrations is generally below acute thresholds in coastal areas, where recognition of chronic sublethal effects is more relevant. Evidence of long-term adverse effects, such as cancer, due to heavy metals in ma

The alkaline comet assay is a sensitive test for the detection of a variety of DNA lesions. However, crosslinks are not readily detected under standard test conditions. Recently, modifications have been introduced measuring crosslinks by determining the reduction of induced DNA migration. We used th
