  Abstract: The Allium cepa assay test was used to evaluate cytogenotoxic effects of asphalt plant discharge water at the concentrations of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100% (v/v) asphalt plant discharge water/distilled water. The distilled water served as the negative control. The analysis of the physicochemical properties and heavy metals concentrations showed that most parameters were higher than the established standards of WHO and FMENV. The …
