An in vivo invertebrate bioassay of Pb, Zn and Cd stabilization in contaminated soil

► Biotest with isopods is suited for testing soil metal stabilization efficiency. ► In vivo bioaccumulation tests confirmed the results of chemical bioaccessibility. ► The isopod biotest is more sensitive and discriminatory as chemical one. ► It is suited to fast screening of bioavailable metals in soil.
