DOI: 10.1002/etc.4953
Abstract: Following a recent proposal of normalizing the experimentally derived biomagnification factor to a 5% lipid content fish, we explore the normalization of the biomagnification factor (BMF) of lipophilic chemicals in fish. We illustrate with theoretical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.0c00157
Abstract: The mechanism underlying contaminant biomagnification is a decrease in the volume (V) and the fugacity capacity (Z) of food during digestion in the gastrointestinal tract. Traditionally biomagnification is quantified by measuring contaminant concentrations in animal… read more here.
