Study aim: "Concentrations of unsubstituted polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons were measured in sediments, Macoma balthica and Nereis succinea at seven Chesapeake Bay habitats to determine animal-sediment bioaccumulation factors. Bioaccumulation factors for both species ranged between 0.2 and 4 for sediments with more than 0.5% organic carbon."
