| It follows that hydrophobic organic compounds have high adsorption coefficients and high bioaccumulation factors. |
|
| Biological processes are primarily biotransformation, biodegradation, and bioaccumulation. |
|
| However, DDT released before that time is still present in the environment and in various organisms in the process of bioaccumulation. |
|
| The Annex lists criteria for persistence, bioaccumulation, long-range environmental transport and adverse effects. |
|
| Explain how this is the case, with references to the concept of bioaccumulation or biomagnification. |
|
| The government should amend these regulations to reflect what we know today about bioaccumulation. |
|
| This analysis provided evidence of bioaccumulation and biomagnification of these compounds within marine food webs. |
|
| Therefore, it is becoming important to prioritize them by criteria: bioaccumulation, persistence and toxicity. |
|
| Explain the process of bioaccumulation and assess its potential impact on the viability and diversity of consumers at all trophic levels. |
|
| Evidence appears to be satisfactory to conclude high bioaccumulation and biomagnification. |
|
| It is not readily biodegradable and has the potential for bioaccumulation in the environment. |
|
| Moving up the food chain, methylmercury concentrations increase, in a process known as bioaccumulation. |
|
| Demonstrate an understanding of the process of bioaccumulation of chemicals within the food chain. |
|
| Pelz said the habitat will feel the bioaccumulation of mining toxins for years to come. |
|
| Also, improve documentation on the use of these values in salt water and incorporate criteria that take account of bioaccumulation. |
|
| Several studies regarding bioaccumulation of glyphosate have been performed, both in marine and freshwater systems. |
|
| Thus, the compound presents little potential for bioaccumulation. |
|
| The species is susceptible to bioaccumulation of toxins and to the destruction of nesting trees by logging. |
|
| The available data also indicate that trifluralin is depurated rapidly from fish tissue, also precluding the constant accumulation of trifluralin that would lead to bioaccumulation. |
|
| Based on our understanding of the principle of bioaccumulation of toxic substances through the food chain, we know that the most contaminated fish are the predators at the top of the food pyramid. |
|
|
|
| Farmed salmon are fed alternate diets and contaminant bioaccumulation is examined as a function of fish size, feeding practices and growth characteristics. |
|
| Microcosm evaluation of the bioaccumulation of organochloride pesticides from soils in the North Shore Restoration Area at Lake Apopka. |
|
| The bioaccumulation of methyl mercury in the tissues of fishes is the leading reason for government health advisories that recommend reduced consumption of fish from fresh and marine waters. |
|
| Mr. Buesseler said there were grounds for concern about bioaccumulation of radioactive isotopes in the food chain, particularly in seaweed and some shellfish close to the plants. |
|
| Such toxins can accumulate in the tissues of many species of aquatic life in a process called bioaccumulation. |
|
| Above these levels, applicants must conduct a battery of toxicity and bioaccumulation tests to determine if the waste is acceptable for disposal at sea. |
|
| The risk of bioaccumulation is considered to be low. |
|
| Environment Canada participated in research on the biogeochemistry and bioaccumulation of mercury in freshwater ecosystems conducted under the Northern Contaminants Program. |
|
| The study was not designed to examine the effects of exhaust on ecosystem and it doesn't address the question of chronic effects of trace metals or bioaccumulation on organisms. |
|
| New Understanding of Health Impacts from Chemicals: Two aspects of chemical toxicity, endocrine disruption and bioaccumulation, are rapidly changing the risk profile of the petrochemical industry. |
|
| France underscored the need to consider the persistence, bioaccumulation potential and toxicity of alternatives, and, with Tanzania, called for regular updating of the document. |
|
| Effect of feeding on cadmium bioaccumulation in the echinoid Paracentrotus lividus. |
