Bioconcentration Factor(BCF) of Perchlorate from Agricultural Products and Soils [PDF]

Korean Journal of Environmental Agriculture, 2013
BACKGROUND: Perchlorate() is an anion that is extremely water-soluble and environmentally stable. It mostly exists in the form of sodium perchlorate, ammonium perchlorate and potassium perchlorate which are used in rocket fuels, propellants, ignitable sources, air bag inflation systems and explosives.

Screening of Native Plant Species in the Artisanal Gold Mining Sites of Doko, Guinea: Perspectives for Phytoremediation

CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, Volume 54, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study focuses on phytoremediation in a gold mining‐contaminated area in Doko, Guinea. Plant, soil, and rhizospheric soil samples were collected and subjected to physicochemical analyses to quantify heavy metal content. Biological indicators: bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation factor (TF), and biological accumulation coefficient (BAC ...

Potential of Duckweed (Lemna minor) for the Phytoremediation of Landfill Leachate

Journal of Chemistry, 2018
Phytoextraction of zinc, copper, lead, iron, and nickel from landfill leachate by duckweed (L. minor) was investigated every 3 days over a period of 2 weeks. Bioconcentration factor and removal efficiency were also calculated.

Prediction model for mercury transfer from soil to corn grain and its cross-species extrapolation

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
In this study the transfer characteristics of mercury (Hg) from a wide range of Chinese soils to corn grain (cultivar Zhengdan 958) were investigated. Prediction models were developed for determining the Hg bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Zhengdan 958 ...

Resampling the bioconcentration factors data from Japan's chemical substances control law database to simulate and evaluate the bioconcentration factors derived from minimized aqueous exposure tests [PDF]

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2012
Abstract Existing standard bioconcentration tests (e.g., the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development [OECD] test guideline 305) require large numbers of test animals and resources. The minimized aqueous exposure test is a new approach based on the standard bioconcentration test but allows estimation of bioconcentration ...

Intercropping minimally influences differences in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) uptake among three agricultural crops

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
The widespread presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in agroecosystems challenges safe and profitable food production. To contribute to the broader understanding of crop-specific PFAS uptake, we cultivated lettuce (Lactuca sativa L ...

Comparison of Uptake of Cadmium at Low Concentrations Under Hydroponic and Soil‐Based Agriculture Systems for Lettuce, Indian Spinach and Methi

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Using recycled water for agriculture offers a sustainable approach by adding inherent nutrients and moisture to the soil. However, it contains unwanted contaminants such as heavy metals like cadmium at lower concentrations. This study assessed the comparative response of three leafy crops ‐ lettuce, Indian spinach and methi, against cadmium ...
