Genotoxic Assessment of Different Sizes of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles and Ionic Iron in Earthworm (Eisenia hortensis) Coelomocytes by Comet Assay and Micronucleus Test

The current study was designed to evaluate genotoxicity of different sizes of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and ionic iron using coelomocytes of the earthworms Eisenia hortensis . Earthworms were exposed to different series of IONPs and ionic iron concentrations to find the respective LC50 of the...
