To properly manage the risks to ecosystems, EQSs for all media are required. If EQSs for related media are derived, the consistency between the EQSs across media should in principle be verified (i.e., water-tissue, water-sediment, sediment-tissue, water-soil, water-air, soil-air) to ensure that a value that is protective for 1 medium is also protective for the other media. 

Tissue Processing Skinned mouse knee joints are immersed in neutral buffered formaldehyde (3.7 %) directly after preparation. Fixation times are limited to one week to ensure tissue integrity. Tissue samples are rinsed overnight with tap water. Tissue samples that contain bone are decalcified (D-calciher normal, Shandon 1779) for 2 or 3 days. Decalcified samples or cartilage samples without bone are rinsed overnight with tap water. After dehydration with alcohol in stepwise increasing concentrations, tissue samples are embedded in paraffin. 

Comparative metabolism in the rat. Adult male (6) and female (6) Sprague-Dawley rats were housed individually in polycarbonate metabolism cages and were orally administered by gavage an aqueous solution of " C-pirlimycin HCl. Five daily doses of 29 mg/kg/day were administered at 24-hour intervals to each rat. Urine and feces were collected at 24-hour intervals just before dose administration. The animals were sacrificed at 2 to 3 hours post-last-dose and liver, kidneys, and samples of flank muscle and abdominal fat carefully excised and placed into tared bottles. Homogenates of 2 1 water tissue were prepared for combustion/LSC analysis. Metabolite profiles were obtained for liver, urine and feces as described above. 

The ultraviolet-visible method is useful for the study of electronic transitions in molecules and atoms. Although various forms of ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy can be used to study a myriad of important chemical and physical properties, we will be most concerned with its use in quantitative analysis. It is probably the single most frequently used analytical method, with the possible exception of the analytical balance. For example, a single clinical analysis laboratory in a major hospital may perform a million chemical analyses a year, primarily on serum and urine, and about 707o of these tests are done by ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy. Atomic absorption and emission spectroscopy (Chaps. 10 and 11) is used primarily to analyze for metallic elements in a variety of matrices—serum, natural waters, tissues, and so forth. 

Zebra mussels Dreissena polymorpha) accumulated PCB 77 from their diet and from the surrounding lake sediments. An uptake rate of PCB 77 by zebra mussels followed the descending order of sediment, food, and water. Tissue concentrations in mussels peaked after 10-14 days at 3.4-3.7 mg PCB 77/kg FW soft parts equilibrium levels of PCB 77 were near l.Omg/kg FW. Zebra mussels are more efficient accumulators of PCBs than other bivalve molluscs to which they are attached accordingly, high densities of zebra mussels probably influence contaminant dynamics. A freshwater crustacean Mysis relicta) plays an important role in the transfer of PCBs from sediments into...

Another treatment that has been used for TFA is to apply polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400. The thinking might have been the TFA would be more soluble in PEG 400 than in water/tissue and that the PEG 400 would then extract the TFA from tissue. The degree to which this is true would depend upon the solubihty of TFA in various solvents and the solubility of PEG 400. Here are statements about the solubility of each substance ...

In those plant organs where nearly all cells have chloroplasts, this ratio can easily be measured. In other plants or plant organs having water tissues free of chloroplasts, the photosynthesizing tissues must be removed from the water tissues and analyzed separately. Confessedly, considerable technical difficulties may arise for this circumstance.

BCFtotai (free and bound (= total) PAH in water) = [Tissue]/[WatertotJ DOC is dissolved organic carbon in water (usually in mg/L or ppm), flip is the fraction of tissue that is lipid (usually in dry weight), foe is the fraction of sediment that is organic carbon (usually in dry weight).
