Heavy metals have an enduring presence, risky characteristics, and the propensity to accumulate in environment. This is why heavy metal toxics are widely acknowledged as harmful environmental pollutants. damage both aquatic terrestrial ecosystems, posing a major risk environment human health. Four freshwater fish species namely Labeo rohita, Catla catla, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Ctenopharyngodon idella were focus of this investigation. study investigated potential genotoxic effects lead (Pb), copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd) on above through application comet assay test. The exposed these at four distinct concentrations (19%, 24%, 31%, 50% LC50) over course 40 days. All varying degrees, according genetic index, cumulative tail length comets, proportion damaged cells. In contrast molitrix had highest prevalence DNA damage. current suggests that presence particular Pakistan's ecosystems may adverse effect country's species. Metals cause fibroblast cells mechanisms when present water, air, soil. Comet test has remarkable sensitivity helps identify extremely low amounts Out species, showed higher levels cells, compared others. experienced significant increase damage, concentration LC50.
