“…In Figure 4, y-scale of Log C S /C M enabled researchers to observe the different accumulation trends of the active and passive samplers, and the black line at Log 10 indicates the equality of their concentrations. The upper part of the black line signifies that the metabolization of HOCs in the selected marine organism is higher, whereas the lower part of the black line indicates that the contaminants in the particular phase were higher than their dissolved forms, as a reminder that the dissolved phase of contaminants accumulated in the passive sampler (Bourgeault & Gourlay-Francé, 2013;Gourlay-Francé, Lor-geoux, & Tusseau-Vuillemin, 2008;Kim, Kim, Alvarez, Lee, & Oh, 2014;Lance et al, 2012;Luellen & Shea, 2002;Taylor, Fones, Vrana, & Mills, 2019;Zhao et al, 2018).…”
