The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has become a powerful tool to evaluate the deleterious effects of early-life exposure to xenobiotics, including metals. The present chapter describes a detailed protocol for developmental lead (Pb)-exposure in C. elegans. Preliminary assays as well as the final procedure are described in detail. In addition, further protocols aimed to assess ethanol exposure at later stages of life demonstrate the impact of this drug on locomotor behavior, revealing the enduring effects that Pb can imprint on this organism when exposure occurs during development.
