This study conducted 143 subjects from rural, urban, and industrial areas. The sera of subjects were taken for the analysis. The toxic metals and bioelements were assessed using ICP-MS, the oxidative stress parameters were determined via ELISA. For estimation of liver test biomarkers Kenza was used, and thyroid hormones were measured by Cobas. While their relationships were statistically analyzed. The results indicated that metals concentrations were markedly significantly increased in industrial areas, particularly for Fe 599.1 (723.9) μg/L and Mn 7.534 ± 8.793 μg/L. The median level of Cu 4082 (2824) μg/L in urban subjects is significantly lower than those of other areas. Markers for oxidative stress revealed considerably higher MDA in urban participants 1917 (1085) pg/mL, while SOD and CP exhibited significantly lower level in urban and industrial participants P-value (0.0001 and <0.0001) respectively.

PM2.5 and PM10 samples were collected using a Tisch TE-Wilbur sampler, and elemental concentrations were analyzed using Proton-Induced X-Ray Emission (PIXE). Microsoft Excel was employed to determine the statistical values of PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀ concentrations, the concentrations of twelve elements, including Si, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Zn, Ni, and Cu. The enrichment factor (EF), as well as health risk assessment indicators, including target hazard quotient (THQ), hazard index (HI), and carcinogenic risk (CR), were evaluated. The results showed that EF values for Zn, Ni, and Cu ranged from 10 to 100, indicating contributions from anthropogenic sources. Cr exhibited the highest EF values, ranging from 51 to 111, suggesting significant influence from industrial activities and traffic emissions. The mean PM₁₀ concentration (86.0504 µg/m³) during the wet season exceeded the WHO and EU standards but remained below the Thailand standard and the U.S. EPA limit. In contrast, the mean PM₂.₅ concentration (77.5143 µg/m³) during the same period exceeded all referenced standards.

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the genotoxicity of CMG using the limit test on the mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus assay, in male Wistar rats. CMG was administered by gavage to 5 rats at 2000 mg/kg bw for 3 days, while 5 rats received the vehicle and 5 rats received cyclophosphamide (positive control). Satellite groups of 3 rats were included for the negative control and CMG-treated groups to collect plasma and bone marrow for the chemical analyses. All rats were observed for mortality and clinical signs of toxicity during the dosing period. Rats were euthanatized 20 h after the last treatment, necropsied, and bone marrow was collected for smear preparation. No mortality, clinical signs of toxicity, gross organ pathology, or body weight changes were observed in CMG-treated rats compared to the negative control group. No statistically significant alteration of polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) and the per-thousand incidences of micronucleated PCE in the bone marrow of CMG-treated rats were observed. Bone marrow exposure to CMG was unambiguously confirmed by the detection of the characteristic CMG triterpenic acids in both bone marrow extract and plasma of CMG-treated rats by UHPLC-HRMS/MS analysis.
