Bioavailability of organochlorines in fish
1Great Lakes Institute, University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
Abstract:
1. An overview is presented of the process of chemical sorption and membrane permeation that control the bioavailability of organochlorines in natural waters. 2. The mechanisms of membrane permeation and chemical sorption to various types of dissolved and particulate matter is discussed and simple models are presented that can be used to estimate the bioavailability of organic chemicals in natural waters.
