Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Concentrations of hydrophobic chemicals in mussels and semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) from nine studies published over the past decade, amended with new data obtained in the Scheldt-North Sea area, were assessed to understand the similarities and differences between these sampling matrixes. A model was developed to describe the concentration ratios, using literature values of elimination rate constants and steady-state accumulation factors of both samplers as key parameters. The model could successfully describe the results of seven studies. Differences in concentration ratios among these studies were related to the variability of mussel bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) and water sampling rates of SPMDs. For two studies, the model could only describe the data by adopting unrealistically high water sampling rates, and for one study there were not enough data to test the model. We argue that SPMDs will generally yield more reliable estimates of exposure concentrations than mussels, because in situ BAF values are difficult to estimate, whereas the in situ exchange kinetics of SPMDs can be quantified by measuring the dissipation rates of performance reference compounds. The implications of the results for future and existing monitoring programs are discussed. |
