ABSTRACT

The peculiarities of accumulation of the ions of heavy metals (Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺) in the organism of five species of mollusks were revealed. The distribution of these elements in the tissues and organs of mollusks was investigated. The concentration factors and the coefficients of benthic biological accumulation were calculated. The obtained data were statistically processed by the method of correlation analysis.
