Abstract
In experiments using the methods of electrolyte histochemistry in combination with microanalysis of x-rays and with radio-active zinc it was shown that the chloride cells of mayfly larvae and other aquatic insects accumulate heavy metals. The chloride ceils are suggested as indicators of heavy metal pollution in water.
Wir danken Herrn Prof. Dr. W. Kloft, Institut für Angewandte Zoologie der Universität Bonn, für einen Arbeitsplatz und die Möglichkeit zu Szintillationsmessungen.
