## Abstract The protective effect of reactive sulfide against AgNO~3~ toxicity to __Daphnia magna__ neonates was studied. Acute (48โh) toxicity tests were performed in the absence (<5 nM) and presence of low (โผ25 nM) and high (โผ250 nM) concentrations of zinc sulfide clusters under oxic conditions.
With the increasing use of ionizing radiations in diagnosis and therapy, one may predict that more and more human embryos and fetuses will be exposed to x-radiation. It is important, therefore, that data be accumulated relative to the radiosensitivities of specific organ primordia. It is apparent th
