Assessing the impact of lead and cadmium accumulation on the development of Danio rerio

Abstract

The accumulation of heavy metals like lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) by biological pathways causes certain effects on the organism. This study explores the effects of lead treatment on Danio rerio embryos (Zebrafish). Embryos were exposed to lead and cadmium in various concentrations at 0.1 µg/l, 1 µg/l, 10 µg/l, 20 µg/l, 100 µg/l. These results revealed that lead exposure can cause abnormalities in the structure of Zebrafish embryos.
