Colorimetric method and apparatus for measuring the toxic effect of environmental pollutants on hemoglobin

Abstract

Method for measuring the toxicity of environmental matrices characterized in that it uses the oxidation of the iron present in the hemoglobin molecule as indicator of toxicity of said environmental matrices according to the steps of adding hemoglobin in an aqueous sample of environmental matrix, adding potassium thiocyanate, quantifying the oxidation state of the iron present in the hemoglobin molecule by means of colorimetric analysis of the sample.
