“Earthworms for Monitoring Metal Contamination” is a specialized text that delves into the use of earthworms as bioindicators for assessing metal pollution in soils. The book presents methodologies for evaluating metal speciation and bioavailability within earthworm tissues, focusing on cellular biomarkers such as coelomocytes and chloragocytes. It also explores advanced techniques like metabonomics and infrared microspectroscopy to understand the biochemical impacts of metal exposure. The authors discuss the integration of genomic tools to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of earthworm-based ecotoxicological assessments.
