Enantiomeric composition of chiral polychlorinated biphenyl atropisomers in aquatic bed sediment

Article Abstract:

Eight polychlorinated biphenyl atropisomers were measured in sediment extracts taken from various lakes and rivers within the United States. Analysis indicates that biotransformation involves reductive dechlorination. Accompanying graphs and charts provide additional statistical data.

Enantiomeric composition of chiral polychlorinated biphenyl atropisomers in aquatic and riparian biota

Article Abstract:

Sediment, and aquatic and riparian biota are analysed for nonracemic and racemic polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) content at 32 sites in the United States. Accumulation rates for PCBs are graphed for different species compared to sediment toxin levels.

National-scale, field-based evaluation of the biota-sediment accumulation factor model

Article Abstract:

A recommended tool for the prediction of bioaccumulation of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) in aquatic life is the biota-sediment accumulation factor (BSAF) model. This research serves to study the biota model from field information on fish from samples all over the United States.
