Biomarkers that demonstrate chromium exposure under field conditions is under active investigation. Laboratory studies with Prussian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) exposed for 3 to 9 days to 25 to 100 pg Cr /L or 50 to 200 pg Cr+3/L show a dose-dependent increase in the frequency of micronuclei in erythrocytes, and this increase is considered indicative of increasing DNA damage (Al-Sabti et al. 1994). Similar increases in micronuclei were observed in Prussian carp from the River Ljubjanica near chromium-containing outfalls from leather waste products in the Republic of Slovenia (Al-Sabti et al. 1994).

Populations of soil mites were reduced in the Chernobyl area, but no population showed a catastrophic drop in numbers. By 1987, soil microfauna — even in the most heavily contaminated plots — were comparable to controls. Flies (Drosophila spp.) from various distances from the accident site and bred in the laboratory had higher incidences of dominant lethal mutations (14.7%, estimated dose of 0.8 mGy/h) at sites nearest the accident than controls (4.3%). Fish populations seemed unaffected in July/August 1987, and no grossly deformed individuals were found. However, 34+ i 37( s levels were elevated in young fishes. The most heavily contaminated teleost in May 1987 was the carp (Carassius carassius). But carp showed no evidence of mutagenesis, as judged by incidence of chromosomal aberrations in cells from the corneal epithelium of carp as far as 60 km from Chernobyl (Sokolov et al. 1990).
