Availability of metals to the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans: toxicity based on total concentrations in soil and extracted fractions.

Abstract:

:Current regulation of metals in soils is based on total metal concentrations rather than on actual exposure concentrations. Considering the extreme variation in soil physicochemical properties, total concentrations are not reflective of the availability and resultant toxicity of metals in different soils. In this study, the availability of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn to the free-living soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was assessed after 24-h exposures in three soils using a sequential soil extraction procedure. Albany soil, sampled from southern Georgia, USA, is characterized by a high sand content, whereas Cecil soil from the Piedmont region of Georgia contains higher fractions of clay and organic matter. The final soil was an American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) artificial medium composed of peat, kaolin clay, sand, and calcium carbonate. Based on their composition, ASTM medium would sorb metals most strongly and Albany soil the least strongly. In fact, 24-h lethal concentrations to 50% (LC50s) of nematodes for the five metals as determined by the total metal concentration followed this trend. In addition, water-extractable metals were lowest in ASTM medium and highest in Albany soil when spiked at the same concentrations. Our data show the need to consider soil type when performing toxicological tests and establishing site-specific allowable metal concentrations in soil.
