Assessing bioaccumulation with biomagnification factors from dietary bioaccumulation tests
Integrated Environmental Assessment and ManagementAbstract 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

Bioaccumulation of contaminants in fish
1998The term bioaccumulation is defined as uptake, storage, and accumulation of organic and inorganic contaminants by organisms from their environment. Bioaccumulation therefore results from complex interactions between various routes of uptake, excretion, passive release, and metabolization.

Bioaccumulation and Biomagnification
2015Abstract When a toxic chemical is taken up into an organism, it may be excreted, stored, or metabolized. What happens to the chemical will determine what its effects will be on that organism, and potentially the predators that may eat it.

Arsenic is bioconcentrated by aquatic organisms but not biomagnified. Plants usually accumulate more arsenic than fish, and crustacea accumulate intermediate amounts. Marine organisms normally contain more arsenic than their fresh water counterparts. However, the arsenic contained in the organisms is apparently not toxic to animals or humans, and is ...
