Abstract

Air pollution, especially particulate matter (PM), poses significant environmental and health risks to humans. This study examines the toxicological effects of atmospheric PM collected over Rourkela, an industrial city in eastern India, using Drosophila melanogaster as an in-vivo model. The PM samples, evaluated using a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-r…
