ABSTRACT:Lead is heavy metal, found in water, air, paints, food etc. Lead poisoning affects the entire human body particularly the nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and the blood-forming tissues. The present study aims to see effects of lead acetate on developing chick embryo. Fertilized eggs were procured for the study. The experiment was divided into four groups,with two eggs in each group having different concentrations of lead acetate i.e. 12.5µg to 100µg. The results clearly showed that as the concentration of lead acetate increases, the normal growth of embryo gets disrupted and leads to abnormal chick embryo development especially at concentration of 100µg, the development of embryo was totally deformed.
