Abstract
The use of the free ion approach to quantify the toxic effects of Cd and Ni to the earthworms Lumbricus rubellus and Aporrectodea longa exposed in soils of different types was explored. Median lethal concentration (LC50) of Cd (expressed as the total concentration in soil) varied by approximately 11-fold and 28-fold for L. rubellus and A. longa, respectively. For Ni, these values were 50-fold and 38-fold, respectively. For the 2 earthworm species, no significant influence of cations (H
