METAL SOLIDS IN WATER CAUSE METAL ACCUMULATION IN TISSUE THROUGH INGESTION IN TWO AMPHIBIAN SPECIES

Abstract
Morphologic, spectrochemical and histochemical examination of R. temporaria and B. bufo tadpoles grown in water where fragments of steel and lead were introduced reveals ingestion as the entry path of iron and lead ions into the animals’ body. Accumulation of lead and iron was detected in tadpoles’ gut and liver, increasing in the course of their development.
