The individual and combined toxicity of cadmium, copper and mercury, in Mytilus galloprovincialis were investigated. For individual metals the ranking of toxicity was Hg>Cd>Cu with EC50 values of 0.69, 7.40 and 8.61 ìg/l.. To identify the kind of interaction in binary and ternary mixtures among metals the additive index (S) was calculated. Marking & Dawson’s additive index ranged from -19.06 to -5.99, indicating antagonistic effects.

Abstract

The individual and combined toxicity of cadmium, copper and mercury, in Mytilus galloprovincialis were investigated. For individual metals the ranking of toxicity was Hg>Cd>Cu with EC50 values of 0.69, 7.40 and 8.61 ìg/l.. To identify the kind of interaction in binary and ternary mixtures among metals the additive index (S) was calculated. Marking & Dawson’s additive index ranged from -19.06 to -5.99, indicating antagonistic effects.
