Opis

Earthworms are widely used to assess the bioavailability and deleterious effects of metals in contaminated soils. This book discusses the methods that have been used to determine the ligand-binding speciation and the extent of the toxicologically-important bio-reactive metal and metalloid fractions in the cells of earthworms as receptor organisms.
