DEVELOPMENT OF THE METHOD OF DETERMINATION OF CADMIUM IN PLANKTON ORGANISMS OF FRESH WATER BODIES
The problem of monitoring of the pollution of water bodies with products of industrial enterprises using cadmium is considered herein. An analytical procedure allowing to determine its content in plankton organisms was developed and tested by means of atomic absorption method with electrothermic atomization. The coefficients of bioaccumulation of cadmium are calculated and the linear range of the dependence of its accumulation in Chydorus sphaericus on the concentration in model solutions is determined.
