Abstract - Issue Apr 2007, 28 (2) BackMonitoring
of cellular enzymes in the serum of electroplating workers at Coimbatore C.P. Saraswathy* and M.V. Usharani Department of Environmental Sciences, (Received:
June 03, 2005 ; Revised received: May 15, 2006 ;
Accepted: June 17, 2006) Abstract: Chromium compounds are potent toxic
and carcinogenic substances. With respect to toxicity, hepatic and renal
toxicity have been reported both in workers and in animals exposed to chromium
(VI). Chromium (VI) compounds induces DNA damage in
vivo and in cultured cells as well as the cytotoxicity
evaluated by the leakage of lactate dehydrogenase.
The present study reports the cytotoxicity of chrome platers who are employed from 8 to 25 years in
electroplating industries at Key words : Chromium compounds, Serum, GOT, GPT, LDH, ALP,
