| Abstract | Rapid industrialization and anthropogenic activities are main cause of environmental pollution, leading to an alarming situation. Both arsenic and lead are very dangerous to human health as exposure to these metal results in several abnormalities. In the present study, toxic effects of arsenic and lead were tested on HeLa cells. Cells were exposed to different concentrations of arsenic and lead and anti-proliferative response was tested using neutral red uptake assay. Comet assay was conducted to test the effect of arsenic and lead on DNA. Change in morphology and death of cells was observed after exposure to both metals. Comets were observed in the case of treated samples giving an indication of DNA damage. Ten different comet parameters were investigated for control and heavy metals treated samples. Present study clearly demonstrates that both arsenic and lead have anti-proliferative effect on HeLa cells and they also cause DNA damage. Overall, effects of arsenic exposure were more severe as compared to lead. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
