Study aim: "The objectives of the current study were to evaluate bioaccumulation potential and processes of four HOCs including two polychlorinated biphenyls, a metabolite of an organochlorine insecticide, and a polybrominated diphenyl ether in three sediments with different particle-size distributions to Lumbriculus variegatus."
