Study aim: "Ashtabula Harbor, Ohio is designated as a Great Lakes Area of Concern contaminated by PCBs. Information on the bioaccumulation of PCBs from sediments is important for sediment management strategies such as dredging to restore navigable depths in the harbor. To ascertain the bioaccumulation of these PCBs, the aquatic earthworm Lumbriculus variegatus was exposed in the laboratory to contaminated sediments collected from 15 areas in the harbor. Data from these bioaccumulation experiments were used to determine the bioaccumulation potential of PCBs through the calculation of Biota- Sediment Accumulation Factors (BSAFs)."
