The Bioaccumulation Factor for Phosphorus-32 in Edible Fish Tissue
Health Physics, 1984Information used to derive the bioaccumulation factor for 32P in edible portions of fish was reviewed to evaluate the currently recommended values of 100,000 in fresh water and 29,000 in sea water that are applied in calculating radiation doses to persons from nuclear-power reactor effluents.

Reevaluation of dioxin bioconcentration and bioaccumulation factors for regulatory purposes
Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 1992Bioconcentration factors (BCF) or bioaccumulation factors (BAF) reported for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD or dioxin) in aquatic environments encompass a wide range of values, from less than 1000 to 189,000 l/kg. These values are based on concentrations of TCDD in various environmental media including water, sediment, or food.

A Factor Influence Study of Trace Element Bioaccumulation in Moss Bags
Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2008Moss bags of Rhynchostegium riparioides were exposed to different water concentrations of 11 trace elements under laboratory conditions, according to a saturated fractional factorial design (67 treated combinations), with the aim of measuring (1) element uptake and (2) the main effects and first-order interactions of influent factors.

Concentrations of Metals in the Environment and in Algae: The Bioaccumulation Factor
Russian Journal of Marine Biology, 2019Research on the concentrations of the metals Cu, Cd, Fe, and Mn showed no significant relationships between metal concentrations in water and in brown algae of the Sea of Japan with background concentrations. A significant correlation between metal concentrations in the environment and in the algae was found for zinc; it was the only metal with a wide ...

A simulation study of methods for constructing confidence intervals for bioaccumulation factors
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2003Abstract Toxicokinetics describe the time course of xenobiotics in an exposed organism. The steady state concentration of the xenobiotic is a characteristic of frequent concern, often summarized in terms of bioaccumulation factors (BAFs).

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2014
The Everglades, an ecosystem of international significance, has elevated biota mercury levels representing risk to human and wildlife consumers of fish. Given the critical role of sulfate in the methylation of mercury, and because there is a significant agricultural contribution, one potential means of reducing these mercury levels is reducing ...

Factors affecting trace-metal bioaccumulation in Finnish headwater lakes
Environmental Pollution, 1992Fourteen unpolluted Finnish headwater lakes with pH values varying from 4.8 to 7.0 were studied for trace-metal concentrations in water, sediment, aquatic plants (Nuphar luteum L., Sparganium sp.), aquatic insect larvae (Limnophilus sp., Phryganea sp.) and fish (Esox lucius L., Perca fluviatilis L., Coregonus sp., Salvelinus fontinalis L., Salmo trutta

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2003
Abstract A series of modeling simulations was performed to evaluate the underlying factors and principles that drive the uncertainty in measured bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) and biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAFs) for fish, and to determine which sampling designs minimize those uncertainties.

Bioaccumulation factors of chlorinated hydrocarbons between mussels and seawater
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 1976Abstract The bioaccumulation of PCB and DDT compounds by mussels, Mytilus spp., from ambient seawater was determined by measuring concentrations of these chlorinated hydrocarbons in both mussels and seawater at four sites on the Mediterranean coast of France and two sites in California.
