Reproductive toxicity and bioavailability of arsenic in contaminated artificial and natural soils using the earthworm

High concentrations of arsenic are found near gold-mine tailings. The most common form of arsenic found in soil is arsenate, which is a known toxicant. We used the standardised earthworm reproduction test for the species Eisenia andrei (E. andrei) to study the toxicity and bioavailability of ars...
