Primes¶
- Bioaccumulation
- At the level of individual organisms, bioaccumulation reasoning explains why body burden — not current ambient exposure — drives chronic health effects in long-lived species or individuals with long residence times in contaminated environments, an integrating relationship Mackay (1982) formalized when he correlated bioconcentration factors with octanol-water partitioning to show how persistent chemicals integrate exposure history rather than tracking instantaneous ambient levels.
This sourceEstablishes the directly-proportional relationship between bioconcentration factor and octanol-water partition coefficient that underpins regulatory bioaccumulation screening
