I ntroduction
Modern chemicals, leads to increased pollution of ecosystems.
Insecticides – Organochlorine, Organophosphate, Carbamates.
Carbamates – derivatives of carbamic acid
• Mode of action – inhibit cholinesterase enzyme AChE
overstimulation of neuromuscular
junctions
leads to spasms • Symptoms – Headache, Dizziness, weakness , excessive salivation , vomiting. • Genetic toxicology – effects of chemicals on the hereditary material .
Comet assay – versatile, novel ,rapid but highly sensitive and well validated tool for detecting DNA damage in single cells.
Aim & ObjectiveAim Detection of DNA damage by Alkaline comet assay in peripheral
leukocytes.
Objective To induce the blood with different carbamate pesticides.
To check whether carbamate pesticide will cause genotoxicity in human peripheral leukocytes
Detection of DNA damage by Fluorescent microscope.
Methomyl
Carbaryl
Carbendazim
Human blood sample

The word comet means (originated from
Greek – kometes) -‘long haired star’.
This single cell gel electrophoresis technique
has been modified and extensively validated
over the years, and is now commonly referred
to as the ‘comet’ assay
Comet Assay:
Preparation of carbamate stock solutions
4 mg of three carbamates are dissolved in 1ml of 1%DMSOMethomyl: 1600 ppm/ml
Carbaryl: 2000 ppm/ml
Carbendazim:2000 ppm /ml Carbamates Stocksolution

CONCLUSION
suggest that pesticide in long term exposure could acts as clastogens on the DNA of somatic cells.
(Methomyl & carbaryl) and one fungicides (Carbendazim) showed some genotoxic effects at very low concentration in leukocytes
So these carbamate pesticides are consider as non-target specificity.
