Sensing Dissolved Sediment Porewater Concentrations of Persistent and Bioaccumulative Pollutants Using Disposable Solid-Phase Microextraction Fibers
Philipp Mayer,Wouter H. J. Vaes,Femke G. Wijnker,Karin C. H. M. Legierse,Rik Kraaij,Johannes Tolls,Joop L. M. Hermens +6 more
TL;DR: The matrix solid-phase microextraction (matrix-SPME) as mentioned in this paper was applied as a disposable sampler to measure dissolved concentrations of persistent and bioaccumulative pollutants (PBPs) in sediment porewater.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measured Pore-Water Concentrations Make Equilibrium Partitioning Work A Data Analysis
Rik Kraaij,Philipp Mayer,Frans J. M. Busser,Maarten Van Het Bolscher,Willem Seinen,Johannes Tolls,A.C. Belfroid +6 more
TL;DR: The data analysis suggests that sediment bioaccumulation of compounds up to log K(ow) 7.5 in Tubificidae can be described as bioconcentration from pore-water, which implies that the risk assessment of sediment-associated HOCs can be significantly simplified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioavailability in soil or sediment: exposure of different organisms and approaches to study it.
TL;DR: The soil (or sediment) availability ratio (SARA) method, that uses organisms to study the uptake of freshly added and 'aged' chemicals, is proposed toStudy the magnitude of the reduction in bioavailability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct evidence of sequestration in sediments affecting the bioavailability of hydrophobic organic chemicals to benthic deposit-feeders.
TL;DR: The results provide direct evidence of a causal relationship between sequestration and bioavailability to deposit-feeders and demonstrates the need to modify traditional use of the equilibrium partitioning model to account for variation in the sequestration status of HOC in sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioavailability of lab-contaminated and native polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to the amphipod Corophium volutator relates to chemical desorption.
TL;DR: Differences in bioavailability of lab-contaminated and native PAHs to marine amphipods are related to differences in desorption behavior and the results suggest that lab- ContaminatedPAHs are more available to amphipod than native PAhs.
