Dear Yosup,
There are several journals that deal with metal pollution in earthworms, eg
Journal of Applied Ecology
Environmental Pollution
Water Air and Soil Pollution
Applied Soil Ecology
Science of the Total Environment
A recent publication that may be of interest is:
Spurgeon, DJ & Hopkin, SP (1999). Seasonal variation in the abundance,
biomass and diversity of earthworms in soils contaminated with metal
emissions from a primary smelting works. Journal of Applied Ecology 36,
173-183.
The first author's address is: Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, Monks Wood,
Abbotts Ripton, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, PE17 2LS, UK.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Phil Smith
