Sewage Sludge (SEL) has been used in agricultural activities to improve physical and chemical properties of soils. However, this compound also contains very high levels of heavy metals and pathogenic microorganisms, which can cause serious negative effects on biota and human health. This paper aims to assess potential toxicity of latosols and chernosols amended with SEL, using Eisenia andrei earthworms. Acute toxicity and behavioral tests were performed according to ASMT (2004) and ISO (2002) procedures, respectively. Heavy metals determination was made by Atomic Absorption, and mineralogical characterization by Ray-X Difratometry. Biomass loss was evaluated considering average individual weight. Mercury, lead, zinc and cooper determination...
