The common earthworm (Lumbricus terrestris) is being evaluated in our laboratories as a substitute for mice in metal toxicity studies. These two disparate species have enzymes in common, such as catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione-Stransferase. Also, worms respond similarly to these roden
## Abstract The toxicity and accumulation of arsenate was determined in the earthworm __Lumbricus terrestris__ in soil from different layers of a forest profile. Toxicity increased fourfold between 2 and 10 d. Edaphic factors (pH, soil organic matter, and depth in soil profile) also affected toxici
