Pathologies in Earthworms: Sublethal Biomarkers of Xenobiotic Toxicity

This research is part of an overall program to develop and use a suite of acute and sublethal toxicity biomarkers, and testing protocols for use in assaying potential effects of complex mixtures of xenobiotics such as found in soils containing agricultural biocides and petrochemical wastes dredged sediments, and hazardous waste sites (HWS). The purpose of this study was to evaluate four biomarkers of sublethal pathology that could be used in an integrative model of multiple toxicity endpoints with the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris.
