Distribution of Heavy Metals and Herbicides in the Cephalopod, Viscera and Shell of the Snail Achatina achatina | Chapter 6 | Advanced Research in Biological Science Vol. 5

 Every day, various contaminants are announced into the environment. The purpose concerning this chapter search out determine the concentrations of heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Zinc, Copper) and glyphosate in the cephalopod, entrails, and shell of the Achatina achatina invertebrate species so that find the areas place pollutants get the highest. The present study accepted place in the Nawa region of on west side when facing north-western Côte d'Ivoire. Heavy metals and glyphosate levels in Achatina achatina samples were determined utilizing atomic incorporation spectrophotometry and high-depiction liquid chromatography, respectively. The consequences demonstrate that lead (0,64 mg/kg), law enforcement officer (0,45 mg/kg) and zinc (1,165 mg/kg) accrue the most in the shell. On the other hand, glyphosate and cadmium grow most in the cephalopod (1,03 and 0,13 mg/kg respectively) and in the intestines (1,01 and 0,14 mg/kg respectively). Contamination of the invertebrate with weighty metals and glyphosate would certainly cause unfavorable effects on human strength and the environment.
