Pesticide Bioaccumulation in Cattle
A simple partition model was developed to evaluate the bioaccumulation of chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides (dieldrin and heptachlor) in the soil-pasture-grazing animal system. Biomagnification factors (BFL) calculated on a lipid basis ranged from 0.115 to 0.175, but could not be directly compared with other values from the literature because of ...

Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Energy plants as biofuel source and as accumulators of heavy metals [PDF]
Fossil fuel depletion and soil and water pollution gave impetus to the development of a novel perspective of sustainable development. In addition to the use of plant biomass for ethanol production, plants can be used to reduce the concentration ...

Fate of priority pharmaceuticals and their main metabolites and transformation products in microalgae-based wastewater treatment systems [PDF]
The present study evaluates the removal capacity of two high rate algae ponds (HRAPs) to eliminate 12 pharmaceuticals (PhACs) and 26 of their corresponding main metabolites and transformation products. The efficiency of these ponds, operating with and without primary treatment, was compared in order to study their capacity under the best performance ...

Eutrophication likely prompts metal bioaccumulation in edible clams
Coastal eutrophication is an indisputable reality and becoming a worldwide concern. However, whether and how eutrophication affects metal bioaccumulation in marine bivalves have not yet been elucidated. Here, we present the potential influence of coastal
