Bioaccumulation Model
Bioaccumulation models predict how chemical contaminants accumulate in organisms from environmental exposure (water, food, sediment). Developed by Gobas and colleagues (2006), these models quantify the kinetics of chemical uptake, metabolism, and clearance. Bioaccumulation factors (BAF) and bioconcentration factors (BCF) measure the ratio of chemical concentration in organisms to concentration in the environment. Understanding bioaccumulation is critical for assessing ecological risk from persistent organic pollutants (POPs), heavy metals, and other contaminants.
