Abstract:

Bioaccumulation assessment is important in the scientific evaluation of risks that chemicals may pose to humans and the environment and is a current focus of regulatory effort. The status of bioaccumulation evaluations for organic chemicals in aquatic systems is reviewed to reduce uncertainty in bioaccumulation measurement, to provide quality data for assessment, and to assist in model development. A review of 392 scientific literature and database sources includes 5317 bioconcentration factor (BCF) and 1656 bioaccumulation factor (BAF) values measured for 842 organic chemicals in 219 aquatic

Abstract:

Bioaccumulation, expressed as the bioaccumulation factor (BAF), is a phenomenon widely investigated in the natural environment and at laboratory scale. However, the BAF is more suitable for ecological studies, while in small-scale experiments it has limitations, which are discussed in this article. We propose a new indicator, the bioaccumulation index (BAI). The BAI takes into account the initial load of test elements, which are added to the experimental system together with the biomass of the organism. This offers the opportunity to explore the phenomena related to the bioaccumulation and, co

Abstract:

Dieldrin is legacy organochlorine insecticide, which was listed in the Stockholm Convention because of its persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity. However, it is still present in the environment and in organisms two decades after its ban. The current criteria used for risk assessment in China are based on acute toxicity data in water columns without considering the bioavailability and bioaccumulation, which accordingly lead to the under-protection of aquatic organisms and wildlife. In this study, the water quality criteria (WQC) for dieldrin were derived from a combination of tissue-based t

Urtica dioica L., popularly known as stinging nettle, is a versatile plant and has been used as a wild herb for centuries. Due to its ability to accumulate minerals from the soil, nettle can significantly contribute to improving the nutritional profile of foods, being a valuable natural source of minerals that support metabolism, and bone health. Stinging nettle can be used also as a bioindicator of soil quality, which might contribute to the development of safe and nutritious food products relevant to future nutrition and sustainable food security.

Chlorinated paraffins (CPs), a class of persistent, toxic, and bioaccumulated compounds, have received increasing attention for their environmental occurrence and ecological and human health risks worldwide in the past decades. Understanding the environmental behavior and fate of CPs faces a huge challenge owing to the extremely complex CP congeners. Consequently, the aims of the present study are to summarize and integrate the bioaccumulation and biotransformation of CPs, including the occurrence of CPs in biota, tissue distribution, biomagnification, and trophic transfer, and biotransformati

Wild-growing edible mushrooms contain many biologically valuable substances. However, they are considered a risk commodity due to their extremely high capacity for bioaccumulation of potential risk elements and pollutants from the environment. Four bolete mushrooms from the genus Leccinum were collected from 16 forested areas of Slovakia from June to October 2019. The total mercury content in soil and fruiting body parts was determined by an AMA-254 Advanced Mercury Analyzer. Soil pollution by total mercury was evaluated by contamination factor (Cfi).

Molybdenum (Mo), boron (B), and iron (Fe) play an important role in symbiotic nitrogen fixation by legume plants. The intensity of this process varies in different growth stages of legumes, and the changes are accompanied by changes in the content and translocation of these micronutrients in the plant. A two-year field experiment was conducted to investigate the dynamics of molybdenum, boron, and iron content, translocation, and accumulation in pea plants. Two pea cultivars were studied in six stages of growth, from the four-leaf stage to full maturity. The content of Mo, B, and Fe in the root

In water and sediments, the average SCCP concentrations (ΣSCCPs) were 362.23 ± 81.03 ng/L and 609.68 ± 90.28 ng/g d.w., respectively. In 28
