Cadmium toxicity in tadpoles of Rhinella arenarum in relation to calcium and humic acids

Bioassays were carried out to study the differences in cadmium (Cd) toxicity to premetamorphic tadpoles of Rhinella arenarum, in aqueous solutions with variable contents of calcium in the presence and absence of humic acids, and to analyze the relationship between the free Cd2+ ion concentrations ca...
