| Abstract | Environmental contaminants do not often occur as individual chemicals but rather in complex mixtures whose joint effects can create a strong toxicity to surrounding organisms. To determine the combined harmful effects of siduron (herbicide) and cadmium (heavy metal) toward Eisenia fetida earthworms, samples of worm's coelomocytes were subjected to siduron and cadmium (Cd) at sublethal concentrations (lower than LC )-siduron 0, 0.8, 2.4, and 7.2 µg cm Cd 0, 0.4, 0.8, and 1.6 µg cm in filter paper contact assay, both as individual compounds and combinations. The CI-isobologram model was utilized to reveal the types of toxicological interactions between siduron and cadmium in inducing DNA damage toward earthworms. The results indicated that tail DNA percentage (TDNA %) at individual siduron and cadmium concentrations (with the exception of the lowest concentration of Cd 0.04 µgcm ) were highly significant compared to those of the control (p < 0.01). Tail moments (TM) at individual Cd concentrations (0.8 and 1.6 µg cm ) were highly significant compared to those of the control (p < 0.05), while the increase of TM for individual siduron was only significant (p < 0.05) at 7.2 µg cm which is the highest dose/concentration of siduron used in this study. The combinations of siduron and Cd indicated a significant synergism (CI < 1) at the lower effect levels and a significant antagonism (CI > 1) at the higher effect levels. The synergistic effect for a particular combination of chemicals suggests that there might be a possible risk connected to the coincidence of these chemicals. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
