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 ...

Bioaccumulation of Microcystins in Lettuce

Journal of Phycology, 2012
The contamination of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) by water‐borne crude extracts of the cyanobacterium microcystin‐producing Microcystis aeruginosa (Kützing) Kützing was investigated. The aim of the study was to determine whether bioaccumulation of microcystins occurs in lettuce foliar tissue when sprayed with solutions containing microcystins at ...

Bioaccumulation of mercury and methylmercury

Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 1995
The factors controlling the accumulation of mercury in fish are poorly understood. The oil invoked lipid solubility of MMHg is an inadequate explanation because inorganic Hg complexes, which are not bioaccumulated, are as lipid soluble as their MMHg analogs and, unlike other hydrophobic compounds, MMHg in fish resides in protein rather than fat tissue.

Bioaccumulation of nickel by algae

Environmental Science & Technology, 1984
Six strains of algae and one Euglena sp. were tested for their ability to bioaccumulate nickel. Radioactive /sup 63/Ni was used together with a microplate technique to determine the conditions for nickel removal by axenic cultures of cyanobacteria, green algae, and one euglenoid.

The assessment of bioaccumulation

Chemosphere, 1994
Bioaccumulation and biomagnification of chemicals in biota may be a prerequisite for adverse effects in individuals, species, and ecosystems. From disastrous events posed by xenobiotic chemicals, e.g. PCBs, Dioxins, DDT etc. it must be concluded retrospectively that such impacts cannot be avoided and predicted sufficiently with existing hazard and risk
