Plutonium bioaccumulation in seabirds

Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 2011
The aim of the paper was plutonium (²³⁸Pu and ²³⁹⁺²⁴⁰Pu) determination in seabirds, permanently or temporarily living in northern Poland at the Baltic Sea coast. Together 11 marine birds species were examined: 3 species permanently residing in the southern Baltic, 4 species of wintering birds and 3 species of migrating birds.

Assessing bioaccumulation with biomagnification factors from dietary bioaccumulation tests

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management
Abstract Despite the fact that the UN Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants specifically acknowledges that Arctic ecosystems and Indigenous communities are particularly at risk due to biomagnification of contaminants in traditional foods, the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of substances in fish remains the preferred metric

Classification of bioaccumulative and non-bioaccumulative chemicals using statistical learning approaches

Molecular Diversity, 2008
The present work aimed at developing in silico models allowing for a reliable prediction of bioaccumulative compounds and non-bioaccumulative compounds based on the definition of Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) using a diverse data set of 238 organic molecules.

Use of the bioaccumulation factor to screen chemicals for bioaccumulation potential

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2012
Abstract The fish bioconcentration factor (BCF), as calculated from controlled laboratory tests, is commonly used in chemical management programs to screen chemicals for bioaccumulation potential. The bioaccumulation factor (BAF), as calculated from field-caught fish, is more ecologically relevant because it accounts for dietary ...
