Abstract: AbstractThe ecosystem of soil is affected by heavy metal contamination, both qualitatively and quantitatively and earthworms are efficient bioremediators. The aim of the present study was to investigate the bioaccumulation of two heavy metals (Cd and Pb) in earthworms. In the current paper, the two heavy metals considered are studied for their absorption from the soil and correlated to the amount of live earthworms required to clean up the contamination …
