Contents Notes
This report, prepared for the Office of Emergency and Remedial Response (OERR) of the Environmental Protection Agency, contains an option for rating the relative potential of hazardous substances to bioaccumulate. This rating scheme is intended as a component of a human food chain exposure methodology which is being separately developed for possible inclusion in the EPA Hazard Ranking System (HRS). This rating scheme makes use of available data on bioconcentration factores, n-octanol-water partition coefficients, and water solubility. In addition, the rating scheme makes use of available information on potential biomagnification of hazardous substances. The system makes use of data in order of its reliability and its availability, as well as on its ability to describe, quantitatively, the potential of a substance to bioconcentrate.
