Freshwater leeches (Hirudinea) as a screening tool for detecting organic contaminants in the environment / by J.L. Metcalfe, M.E. Fox and J.H. Carey.: En13-5/88-13E-PDF
"In earlier work, we found that leeches from an industrially polluted creek bioaccumulated chlorophenols to much higher concentrations than other resident benthic invertebrates and fish. We suggested that leeches may have significant potential as biomonitors for these and other organic contaminants in the environment. In this study, we compared the bioaccumulation and depuration of 16 organic compounds, including eight chlorophenols (CPs), lindane, DDT and four derivatives, benzothiazole (BT) and 2-(Methylthio)benzothiazole (MMBT) for three species of leeches"--Abstract.
