Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 12:44 AM | Dataset Last Updated: September 25, 2017
Sediment was dosed with six highly hydrophobic chemicals with estimated log Kows ranging up to 18.3. Sediment bioaccumulation tests with Lumbriculus variegatus were performed with the dosed sediment. The attached dataset contains the concentrations in the organisms from the uptake and elimination portions of the test. and supporting data, e.g. lipid contents and weight change for the organisms. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Burkhard, L., T. Lahren, T. Highland, R. Hockett, D. Mount, and T. Norberg-King. Bioaccumulation of highly hydrophobic chemicals by Lumbriculus variegatus. ARCHIVES OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND TOXICOLOGY. Springer, New York, NY, USA, 76(1): 129-141, (2019).
