- •
No study has been found to detect cobalt chloride as a soil pollutant in earthworms.
- •
Cobalt is a toxic chemical and earthworms are considered as potential model organism to monitor soil pollutants.
- •
Earthworms were exposed to different series of cobalt chloride concentrations to find genotoxicity.
- •
Higher number of DNA and chromosomal damage was observed in Eisenia hortensis earthworms coelomocytes.
- •
Comet assay and micronucleus tests are sensitive tests to evaluate environmental pollutants in terrestrial ecosystems.
