Arsenic compounds were determined in the marine lungworm Arenicola marina collected from Odensee Fjord, Denmark [159]. In contrast to most other marine animals, A. marina contained most water-soluble arsenic in inorganic forms, and arsenobetaine 54 was present as a minor constituent (6% only). Other arsenic compounds detected in A. marina were dimethylarsinate 47 (4%), tetramethylarsonium ion 53 (1.5%), arsenocholine 55 (<1%), and two arsenosugars (56, 57, 1% and 3%, respectively). A new arsenobetaine, i.e. trimethylarsoniopropionate (62), previously only reported in fish, was also present in trace amounts (<1%). 

Alkyl- and alken-l-enyl-diacylglycerides. Alkyl- and alken-l-enyl-diacylglycerides (V, VI) were encountered in both the tissues of the lugwoni Arenicola marina and in the intertidal flat sediment of the Wadden Sea (The Netherlands) where these lugworms live (15).

Within the phylum Annelida, polychaetes have shown a variation in their biokinetic behavior of Te not unlike that observed for molluscs and arthropods. Three species of polychaetes exposed to TcO.J in seawater for a period of 40 d exhibited concentration factors ranging between 10 for Arenicola marina and 1100 for Perinereis ciiltri-fera. Nereis diversicolor showed intermediate values of 100 and Nereis sp. concentration factors of more than 500 [89, 92].

A second-generation model comprised a mass balance of uptake and loss processes that more accurately reflected physiological processes through calibration to experimental data [154]. This model examined the mass transfer of PCBs from plastics to lugworms Arenicola marina) upon ingestion and by dermal contact in two environments closed laboratory bioassay systems and open marine systems. The results depended in part on the type of plastic, as polyethylene has a greater affinity for POPs than polystyrene. Table 4.9 summarizes those results. 

That concern about additives leaching from microplastics was addressed in a study examining the fate of plasticizers in ingested plastics. Using a biodynamic model, researchers explored the potential of leaching of nonylphenol (NP) and bisphenol A (BPA) from plastics in the intestinal tracts of the lug-worm Arenicola marina) and North Sea cod Gadus morhua). They concluded that this was "not likely to constitute a relevant exposure pathway" [155].
