Predicting the Bioconcentration Factor in Fish from Molecular Structures [PDF]
The bioconcentration factor (BCF) is one of the metrics used to evaluate the potential of a substance to bioaccumulate into aquatic organisms. In this work, linear and non-linear regression QSARs were developed for the prediction of log BCF using ...

Growth-Correcting the Bioconcentration Factor and Biomagnification Factor in Bioaccumulation Assessments. [PDF]
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 ...

In silico local QSAR modeling of bioconcentration factor of organophosphate pesticides. [PDF]
The persistent and accumulative nature of the pesticide of indiscriminate use emerged as ecotoxicological hazards. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) is one of the key elements for environmental assessments of the aquatic compartment. Limitations of prediction accuracy of global model facilitate the use of local predictive models in toxicity modeling of

Bioaccumulation of Pyraoxystrobin and Its Predictive Evaluation in Zebrafish
This paper aims to understand the bioaccumulation of pyraoxystrobin in fish. Using a flow-through bioconcentration method, the bioconcentration factor (BCF) and clearance rate of pyraoxystrobin in zebrafish were measured.

Bioconcentration of carbamazepine, enalapril, and sildenafil in neotropical fish species
Sewage effluents are the main source of entry of Human Pharmaceutical Active Ingredients (HPAIs) to surface water bodies. Carbamazepine (CBZ), psychiatric drug, enalapril (ENA) antihypertensive, and sildenafil (SIL), to treat erectile dysfunction, have ...
