BURKHARD, L. P. BSAFs and Food Web Modeling for Establishing Contaminant Relationships between Biota and Sediment. Presented at 23rd Annual Regional Risk Assessors Training Conference, Seattle, WA, October 06 - 09, 2008.

Impact/Purpose:

The presentation will cover how to measure and evaluate BSAFs (biota-sediment accumulation factors), and how to construct, calibrate, validate, and evaluate food web models. The presentation will also discuss the advantages of the two approaches for establishing contaminant relationships between biota and sediment.
