“…The surviving adults were transferred to moist filter paper, their guts were voided for 24 h, changing paper every 6 h (Arnold and Hodson, 2007). Then, the earthworms were dried at 40°C for 24 h and digested for analysis in boiling nitric acid followed by perchloric acid addition, as described above.…”

a b s t r a c tThis study aimed at assessing the bioavailability and toxicity of lead to Eisenia andrei in shooting range soils representing different land uses (forest, grassland, bullet plot). Soils contained 47e2398 mg Pb/kg dry weight (dw), but also had different pH-CaCl 2 (3.2e6.8) and organic matter contents (3.8e13%). Therefore artificial soils with different pH and organic matter contents and two natural soils were included as control soils. Earthworms were exposed for 28 days and toxicity and uptake of Pb were related to total, water and 0.01 M CaCl 2 extractable and porewater Pb concentrations as well as to soil characteristics. Pb uptake in the earthworms linearly increased with increasing soil concentrations. At >2000 mg Pb/kg dw and pH 3.3e3.5, high earthworm mortality with significant weight loss and complete inhibition of reproduction were recorded. At <1000 mg/kg dw, earthworm reproduction was more related to differences in pH and other soil characteristics than to Pb.

“…Earthworms have a simple circulatory system, which can lead to quick contaminants transportation and distribution (Lee et al, 2008). The posterior fractions contain the chloragogenous and liver-type tissues surrounding the alimentary canal, which might be related to higher BDE209 accumulation (Franchini and Marchetti, 2006;Arnold and Hodson, 2007). …”
