“…Symbols denote calculations based on data from LOC (D) and HOC (j) sediments the sediment (f oc ). Accordingly, the porewater concentration can be calculated using the empirical relation (Van der Kooij et al 1991) ( 5) hence C sed /C w = K p = 0.6K ow f oc , where K p is the partitioning coefficient between particle associated pyrene and freely dissolved pyrene in water and K ow the octanol-water partitioning coefficient. Unfortunately, total organic carbon (TOC) was not measured in the sediment used in this experiment; however, TOC in sediment taken from the same location at a different time was measured to be 0.12%, equivalent to a f oc value of 0.0012 (Hansen unpubl.).…”

The bioavailability of the PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) model compound pyrene to the deposit-feeding polychaete Arenicola marina was studied at pyrene concentrations ranging from 0 to 10 ppm. By manipulating the sediment organic content, different distributions of pyrene between particle-associated pyrene, pyrene bound to dissolved organic matter (DOM) and freely dissolved pyrene were obtained at the same pyrene concentration in bulk sediment. The results showed that organic matter influenced the partitioning of pyrene in the sediment matrix. The concentration of dissolved pyrene in porewater and overlying water was higher in sediment with a high organic content, probably due to an increased DOM concentration. In contrast, the concentration of freely dissolved pyrene was, as expected, higher in sediment with low organic content. Bioaccumulation of pyrene correlated very well with the amount of pyrene passing through the gut, indicating that particle-associated pyrene is bioavailable and that ingestion is an important uptake route. Body burden was correlated neither with total dissolved pyrene nor with freely dissolved pyrene, leading one to reject the hypothesis that pyrene uptake is due to simple diffusion processes from water to sediment. Furthermore, no relation between bioaccumulation and dissolved pyrene passing through the gills via irrigation was observed. Bioconcentration factors relative to sediment and water declined with increasing external pyrene concentrations, enhancing the likelihood of sediment toxicity being underestimated when using these factors in risk assessment.

“…Although standard methods for sediment toxicity testing have been developed and applied for some chemicals [11], risk assessments are still frequently based on effect data for pelagic organisms. In such cases PNECs for sediment-dwelling organisms are typically extrapolated from estimated PNEC values for pelagic organisms by equilibrium partitioning [13,14].…”

Abstract-A life table response experiment lasting 120 d was used to investigate the effects of the synthetic polycyclic musk HHCB (1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8-hexamethylcyclopenta-c-2-benzopyrane; 0, 1.5, 26, 123, and 168 mg/kg dry wt sediment) on the life history of the infaunal polychaete Capitella species I. The HHCB exposure showed no detectable effects on adult survival, age at first reproduction, length of the reproductive period, number of broods, individual worm body volumes, or body size-specific egestion rates. In contrast, HHCB significantly affected juvenile survival ($123 mg/kg), maturation time (168 mg/kg), total number of eggs produced ($26 mg/kg), and brood size ($123 mg/kg) and marginally increased time between breeding attempts ($26 mg/kg). A declining trend was observed for population growth rate with increasing HHCB concentrations, but differences between the control and exposed groups were not significant. Thus, despite detectable effects of HHCB on individual life-history traits, the results suggest that environmentally realistic concentrations of HHCB are not likely to reduce the growth rate of Capitella sp. I populations.
