Validation of the Planarian Bioassay With Defined Mixtures and Testing Against Other Bioassays With Contaminated Samples From Pakistan

The main objectives of this study were to: (a) develop the planarian model to assess toxicologic effects caused by pure chemicals and chemical mixtures; (b) assess chemical contamination in environmental samples from selected areas in Pakistan where industrial contamination was suspected; (c) test the sensitivity of the planarian model and other bioassays to contaminated environmental samples and, in turn, assess the toxicity of the contaminants in the samples.
