Abstract

The comet assay is a comparatively simple, but sensitive and well validated tool for measuring strand breaks in DNA in single cells. Cells were embedded in a thin layer of agarose on a microscope slide and lysed with detergent and high salt solution. Air pollution tolerance index of Acalypha  indica growing in the natural conditions closest to  road side and non road side were determined by comet assay.
