Trophic transfer and biomagnification potential of contaminants in aquatic ecosystems.
This review summarizes information obtained from published literature to determine to what degree biomagnification of organic compounds and metals occurs in freshwater and marine food webs. This review was conducted by: (1) examining data from studies conducted in laboratory experiments to establish body burden ratios between trophic levels (trophic transfer coefficients; TTCs); (2) comparing l...
متن کاملCancer Risk Assessment: Chemical Carcinogenesis, Hazard Evaluation, and Risk Quantification
Humans can be exposed to a panoply of agents and actions including chemicals, nanomaterials, metals, and complex mixtures. The link between these exposures and possible clinical sequelae including cancer is often poorly understood. Historically, regulators have addressed such uncertainty by applying linear lowdose defaults when establishing cancer risk estimates for suspected or known carcinoge...
متن کاملProspective aquatic risk assessment for chemical mixtures in agricultural landscapes
Environmental risk assessment of chemical mixtures is challenging because of the multitude of possible combinations that may occur. Aquatic risk from chemical mixtures in an agricultural landscape was evaluated prospectively in 2 exposure scenario case studies: at field scale for a program of 13 plant-protection products applied annually for 20 yr and at a watershed scale for a mixed land-use s...
