Abstract
The shells of the ubiquitous fresh-water mollusk Corbicula manillensis, commonly known as the Asiatic clam, can be used to monitor the relative concentration and changes in concentration of lead over extended periods of time in natural and waste waters at a pH of 7 or above. Plastic baths used in the course of the experiment were found to contain significantly high concentrations of lead.
