Biota-sediment accumulation factor BSAF

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Lee et al., 1993) designed Bedded Sediment Bioaccumulation tests to estimate the bioaccumulation of sediment-associated contaminants by benthic organisms. The bioaccumulation potential of a chemical in sediment usually is expressed as a Biota-Sediment Accumulation Factor (BSAF). The simplest test determines the BSAF as the ratio of the steady-state chemical concentration in the test organism and the chemical concentration in the sediment. [Pg.233]
