Abstract
EDTA is a chelating agent used deliberately in various fields (pulp and paper industry, detergents industry, food industry, medicine, biomedical labs) in order to sequester metal ions which have harmful effects in many processes as well as in obtaining of many products. Taking as starting point the EDTA property to form metal-EDTA complexes we decided to test its effectiveness in mobilizing of the contaminant metal ions, especially cadmium from tissue of Prussian carp specimens subjected to chronic poisoning with cadmium acetate. At the same time we investigated the EDTA ability to reduce the known cadmium antagonism exhibited vis-à-vis some essential macro-and microminerals.
