Abstract:Aquatic ecosystems suffer alterations by the input of several pollutants as potentially toxic elements which interact with the planktonic community with likelihood of bioconcentration, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification through the trophic chains despite the fact of being in low concentrations. The goal of this study involves assessing the toxicity, bioaccumulation, and transfer of the lead under controlled laboratory conditions by estimating the bioconcentration factor (BCF) and bioaccumulation factor (BAF… Show more
