Prediction of Metal Bioavailability in Dutch Field Soils for the Oligochaete Enchytraeus crypticus

摘要

Current risk assessment procedures ignore that variation in soil properties results in substantial differences for uptake adn effects in organisms in different soils. IN this contribution is presented the reuslts of a study on the soil-related factors that modulate metal uptake and elimination by the oligochaete worm Enchytraeus crypticus. Uptake of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn was quantified in 20 Dutch field soils as a function of time.
