Study aim: "The purpose of the present study was to validate this method through testing of environmental samples and to compare bioaccumulation potential between the three species exposed to different contaminants (e.g., polychlorinated biphenyls [PCBs], polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PAHs], dioxins and furans, organochlorine pesticides, and selected metals) from a variety of field-contaminated sediments (n=10). This is the first study of this magnitude to compare the bioaccumulation potential of three different but ecologically relevant species under standard conditions."
