ECOSYSTEMS: Fate of Metals • The ultimate compartment is the whole planet but compartment can be – individual organism or – as small as single cells – Or even organelles within a cell • Metals are non-biodegradable • However there is the formation <strong>and</strong> degradation of organometallic compounds e.g. MeHg,
Fate of Metals • Certain metals are assimilated by organisms to a greater extent than others • Bio-accumulation of Cd is higher than most metals as it is assimilated rapidly <strong>and</strong> excreted slowly • Bio-availability is another reason for a high bio-concentration factor in that the chemical in question may be more bioavailable
