- Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the efficacy of flow cytometry in detecting DNA damage on wild rodents due to petrochemical related pollutants. The study uses double blind analysis, Nuclear Data pulse height analyzer and Mann-Whitney Rank Test to determine the DNA damage at the chromosomal level of the animal. Results show that flow cytometry can be a reliable tool in evaluating the action of environmental pollutants on the chromosomal content of exposed organisms.
