Abstract
26
Heavy metals are frequently encountered as mixtures of essential and non-essential
28
elements. Therefore, evaluation of their toxic effects individually does not offer a realistic
29
estimate of their impact on biological processes. We studied effects of exposure to mixtures of
30
essential and toxic metals (Cr, Cd and Pb) on biochemical, immunotoxicity level and
31
morphological characteristics of the various tissues of a biomarker freshwater fish common carp
32
using environmentally relevant concentrations. Fish were exposed to metal mixture through tank
33
water for 7, 15 and 30 days, under controlled laboratory conditions. Tissue accumulation of the
34
metals was measured using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric techniques. Chromium,
35
cadmium and lead accumulation in muscle, gills, liver, kidney and intestine, tissue of common
36
carp exposed to mixture metals for 30 days increased significant compared with control group
