Bioaccumulation of Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-Dioxins (PCDDs) and Dibenzofurans (PCDFs) in Hediste diversicolor (Polychaeta: Nereididae)

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The effectiveness and reliability of the polychaete Hediste diversicolor (O.F. Müller, 1776) to bioaccumulate polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and dibenzofurans (PCDFs) was assessed in an in-situ passive biomonitoring study.

Holographic QSRR of polychlorinated dibenzofurans

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2005
A new molecular representation, molecular hologram, is employed to investigate the quantitative relationships between gas Chromatographic retention indices (GC-RI) and molecular structures of polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). Together with application of partial least squares (PLS) regression, the quantitative structure-retention relationship ...

Risk assessment of the production of seaweed in the Netherlands; food safety and nature

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Seaweed is seen as an important source of alternative proteins for a sustainable food system and food security. The cultivation of seaweed is therefore encouraged by the European Union (EU) and also by the Dutch government.In the Netherlands, seaweed is farmed on small scale in the Southwest Delta, the Wadden Sea and the North Sea. Despite the

Neglected but potentially significant emissions of unintentional persistent organic pollutants from primary copper smelting industry

Environment International
Copper smelting is an important source of unintentional persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Yet emission assessment and inventories remain limited by two key field-evidence gaps: (i) scarce measurement-based emission factors (EFs) for primary copper ...
