BURKHARD, L., R. HOKE, J. ARNOT, G. LOTUFO, T. PARKERTON, AND K. G. SAPPINGTON. Comparison of Laboratory Measured BCFs, BMFs, and BSAFs to Field Measured BAFs, BMFs, and BSAFs. Presented at 30th Annual Meeting of SETAC North America, New Orleans, LA, November 19 - 23, 2009.
Impact/Purpose:
This presentation will present the comparison materials discussed and evaluated at the workshop, and document the extent of differences, if any, between the laboratory and field measurements.
Description:
A series of workshops on bioaccumulation science and issues have been held since 2005, and the foci of these past workshops were1) Bioaccumulation Data Sources, 2) In Vitro/ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) in Bioaccumulation Assessments, and 3) Bioaccumulation Assessments for European Union. The fourth workshop in this series, held immediately prior to this meeting, was on lab-field bioaccumulation measurement and interpretation issues. The series of workshops was organized in response to the need for better tools for assessing bioaccumulation potential of chemical in commerce. One of the objectives of the recent workshop (sponsored by ILSI-HESI, EPA, and SETAC) was to examine how laboratory measurements (BCF, BSAF, BMF) compare to field measurements (BSAF, BAF, BMF) of bioaccumulation for organic chemicals. This presentation will present the comparison materials discussed and evaluated at the workshop, and document the extent of differences, if any, between the laboratory and field measurements.
