Apr 25, 2017 · Bio-concentration factor (BCF), bio-accumulation factor (BAF) and biomagnification factor (BMF) can be used in assessing the bioaccumulation potential of a substance. In this …

Aug 14, 2024 · BCF values > 1 indicate that the concentration in the organism is greater than that of the medium (e.g., soil or water) from which the pesticide was taken. BCFs can be calculated …

Bioaccumulation factors (BAFs), which refer to all possible routes of PFAS exposures, can be measured according to Eq. (13.2). where C biota is the PFAS concentration in the biota, and C …

In surface water, the BCF is the ratio of a chemical's concentration in an organism to the chemical's aqueous concentration. BCF is often expressed in units of liter per kilogram (ratio …

BAF and BCF are used interchangeably by many scholars because both illustrate partitioning of a chemical between water and aquatic organisms, but it is more appropriate to apply BAF on food...

This is accomplished using this protocol to determine: (1) if the constituent exceeds an octonal/water partition coefficient (Kow) threshold for surface water, (2) if the constituent …

Bioaccumulation factor (BAF) Differently from BCF which requires controlled conditions and excludes the contribution of dietary intake, the BAF expresses the bioaccumulation of a …

Feb 15, 2011 · A review of 392 scientific literature and database sources includes 5317 bioconcentration factor (BCF) and 1656 bioaccumulation factor (BAF) values measured for …

BAF estimates using the bioconcentration factor (BCF) method if (a) the BAF method did not produce estimates for all three TLs, and (b) the BCF method produced national-level BAF …

Feb 1, 2016 · Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) is an indicator of a chemical substance’s tendency to accumulate in the living organism. It can be obtained by calculation method based on logPow …
