Abstract
⺠We describe an exposure-dose-response approach for assessing cadmium exposure in Anadara trapezia. ⺠Accumulated cadmium was detoxified in metallothionein like proteins or as active metal in mitochondria. ⺠Increased cadmium dose resulted in a reduction in total antioxidant capacity, decreased lysosomal stability and genotoxic damage. ⺠Elevated sediment cadmium concentrations can lead to increased biologically active cadmium and cellular impairment of A. trapezia.
