Bioconcentration factor (BCF) was determined by following Cui et al.
A good example is our recently published article on a QSAR for
bioconcentration factor (Piir et al.
On day 1, in comparison with the control, the bioaccumulation of MC-LR had started; the
bioconcentration in C.
The
bioconcentration factor (BCF) value, which is the quotient of the concentration in fruiting bodies divided by the concentration in the soil substrates, was determined for all minerals in each sampling site.
The
bioconcentration factor was calculated as described previously [34]:
The
bioconcentration factor (BCF) works as an indicator of the plant ability to accumulate the metal concerning the concentration of metal in the experimental solution.
Bioconcentration evidences for PCBs have been observed in the area.
Bioconcentration of heavy metals in vermicomposting earthworms (Eisenia fetida, Perionyx excavatus and Lampito mauritii) in Nepal.
Seasonal
bioconcentration of heavy metals in Onchidium struma (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) from Chongming Island, the Yangtze estuary, China.
(2013) reported that surviving fish was maximally intoxicated at this period due to maximum
bioconcentration and bioaccumulation.
In another study conducted with zebrafish embryos, it was observed that synthetic pyrethroids have a high
bioconcentration capacity, suggesting that pyrethroids have a highly-cumulative risk for fish (TU et al., 2014).
