In aquatic toxicology, bioconcentration is the accumulation of a water-borne chemical substance in an organism exposed to the water.
In aquatic toxicology, bioconcentration is the accumulation of a water-borne chemical substance in an organism exposed to the water.
There are several ways in which to measure and assess bioaccumulation and bioconcentration. These include: octanol-water partition coefficients (KOW), bioconcentration factors (BCF), bioaccumulation factors (BAF) and biota-sediment accumulation factor (BSAF). Each of these can be calculated using either empirical data or measurements, as well as from mathematical models. One of these mathematical models is a fugacity-based BCF model developed by Don Mackay.
