- Abstract
Effects of six microelements (Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb, Zn and Se) were tested under laboratory conditions on the mortality and reproductive success of Enchytraeus albidus. LOECmotality was 7 mg/kg of available Se and LOECreproduction 2 mg/kg of available Se. No mortality effect was found in the case of available Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb and Zn at rates of 1.5, 131, 17, 167, and 124 mg/kg, respectively, but all these elements in the given concentration decreased reproduction. Available Zn decreased reproduction already at a rate of 47 mg/kg.
