Abstract
Copper sulfate (CuSO4) is been
extensively used in agricultural, industrial, domestic and technological
sectors. It is a potentially toxic element causing environmental pollution
which poses hazardous effects on the survival of animals. Present article delas
with the effect of various concentrations (0.5 mg/ml, 1.0 mg/ml, and 1.5 mg/ml)
of Copper sulfate on early embryonic development of Chick embryo (Gallus
domesticus). Copper sulfate (CuSO4) found to impair the process
of organogenesis in chick embryo resulting in underdevelopment of vital organs
like brain, heart, limb and wing buds. The severity of impairment is high with
increasing concentration of copper sulfate. It indicates the risk of
interference with essential developmental processes due to excessive exposure
to heavy metal pollutants like copper sulfate.
