Comparative study on two freshwater invertebrates for monitoring environmental lead exposure

Two freshwater invertebrate organisms, Biomphalaria glabrata and Lumbriculus variegatus, were tested as potential experimental animal models to assess Pb exposure using acute laboratory bioassays. Since long, the enzyme δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALA-D) has been recognised as a useful biomar...
