Extreme Arsenic Bioaccumulation Factor Variability in Lake Titicaca, Bolivia [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2019 Abstract Latin America, like other areas in the world, is faced with the problem of high arsenic (As) background in surface and groundwater, with impacts on human health. We studied As biogeochemical cycling by periphyton in Lake Titicaca and the mine-impacted Lake Uru Uru.

An assessment of the bioaccumulation of estrone in Daphnia magna [PDF]
, 2004 The bioaccumulation of estrone by Daphnia magna was determined. Direct uptake via the aqueous medium occurred within the first 16 hours. A bioconcentration factor of 228 was established over all temporal periods.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 In this study, we evaluated the bioaccumulation of mercury in zebrafish (Danio rerio) exposed to mercury-contaminated food for 21 days and the depuration of mercury for a subsequent post-exposure period of 28 days. Four tissues (muscle, liver, gills, and

Growth-Correcting the Bioconcentration Factor and Biomagnification Factor in Bioaccumulation Assessments [PDF]
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2019 Abstract We illustrate that the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development guideline 305 (OECD-305) for growth-correcting bioconcentration factors (BCFs) and biomagnification factors (BMFs) violates the mass-balance assumption underlying the definition of BCFs and BMFs and provides unrealistic estimates of BCFs and BMFs of ...
