Resumen:
The effects of dissolved humic acid concentrations on the uptake and toxicity of cadmium using the freshwater oligochaete Lumbricus variegatus as a centinel monitor of environmental pollution were investigated . Acute static bioassays were performed and the data showed that both the uptake and lethality of cadmium decrease with increasing humic acid concentrations. These results confirm that free cationic species correlated better than total dissolved metal concentration with cadmium bioavailability and toxicity
