Study aim: "The purpose of this study was to test the ability of a three-compartment closed kinetic model to determine the AF for PCB-52 using a 5-d exposure. The exposure matrix involves suspended sediment and fish, rather than the usual deposited sediment and sediment-processing infaunal organisms. The model generates rate constants for intercompartmental transfer of the chemical, and an AF is calculated using these values."
