Source: Call DJ, DM Rau, DR Thompson, MD Kahl. 1993. A study of PCB bioaccumulation from Waukegan Harbor, Lake Michigan sediments by the oligochaete, Lumbriculus variegatus.
Study aim: "The Lake Superior Research Institute of the University of Wisconsin-Superior contracted with the Chicago District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to perform a study of the bioaccumulation of PCBs from Waukegan Harbor sediment by the oligochaete, Iumbriculus·variegatus. In addition to determining PCB concentrations on a congener-specific basis in the sediment and exposed organisms, measures of total organic carbon (TOC) in the sediment and percent total lipids in the organisms were obtained."
