| Popis: | Industrial pollution is one of the most dangerous that is a continuous threat for humanity. Evaluation of that pollution is the main aim of the current study through the detection of the accumulated heavy metals in its surrounding habitats mainly soil and flora as well as the response of insects towards this pollution. Therefore, seasonal collection of three different insect species were performed in addition to soil and the common plant; Zilla spina, at different sites of El-Sadat industrial city, Menofia, Egypt for four successive seasons during 2016 to 2017. The Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) extracted from the homogenate of the chosen insects were used as biomarkers for heavy metals pollution. Also, heavy metal contents in plant and soil samples were analyzed. Results showed varied activities for the investigated biomarkers depending on the study sites, providing a representative picture to the environmental state of that areas. |
