Chloroform does not appear to bioconcentrate in higher aquatic organisms, based upon measured bioconcentration factors (BCF) of 6 and 8 for bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) (Barrows et al. 1980 Veith et al. 1980). Information from EPA s ASTER (1996) database document a calculated BCF for the fathead miimow of 14, a low value suggesting little potential for bioconcentration in fish. A BCF of 690 experimentally determined for the bioconcentration of chloroform in the green algae Selenastrum capricomutum suggests that the compound has a moderate tendency to concentrate in nonvascular aquatic...

The use of bioassays in environmental monitoring has not been developed in Chile [191]. In 1998 the Ministry of Agriculture started to set up a bioassay laboratory for evaluation of the presence of toxic substances in water for irrigation and animal consumption. This ministry is now in the process of implementation of EPA standardized crustacean and algal tests with Daphnia and Selenastrum capricomutum, respectively. There is no governmental wastewater bioassay monitoring.

Selenastrum capricomutum (Sauser et al., 1997), Chlorella vulgaris (Takeda et al., 1998) and Euglena gracilis (Ishikawa et al., 1996b Shigeoka et al., 1980), in cyanobacteria (Miyake et al., 1991 Tel-Or et al., 1986) and in insects (Mathews et al., 1997). An APX enzyme has also been identified in Trypanosoma cruzi (Boveris et al., 1980). Reeently, an APX enzyme has been isolated and purified from bovine eye (Wada et al., 1998), raising the intriguing possibility that APX enzymes may have a funetional role in mammalian systems.
