“…For example, after 28 d of exposure of triolein-SPMD adjacent to caged channel fish in the water at the mouths of five Lake Michigan tributaries, they accumulated a greater number of chemicals and at higher concentrations than the fish [17]. However in the work of Prest et al [16], levels of sequestered pesticides and PCBs were approximately 1.6 times higher in freshwater clams (Corbicula fluminea) than those in triolein-SPMD after 2 months of exposure in the river water (10 C). Moreover, another result showed that blue mussels were more efficient at sequestering polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons than were SPMDs [4].…”

“…It has been successfully used for monitoring chemicals in aquatic environments [2][3][4][5][6][7][8], and in air [9,10]. Triolein-SPMD has also been used for screening and preliminary identification of emission sources in wastewater systems and groundwater [11][12][13][14], and appears to simulate the bioconcentration of dissolved chemicals by aquatic organisms [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. The procedure for dialytic recovery of pesticides can be used separately to remove lipids and other interferences from environmental sample extracts [22,23].…”

An important advance in aquatic ecotoxicology is the development and application of biomimetic sampling technology for hydrophobic contaminants. In this paper, accumulation kinetics of five organochlorinated pesticides, i.e. hexachlorobenzene, lindan, aldrin, heptachlor epoxide and 4,4 0 -DDT, by triolein-containing semipermeable membrane device (triolein-SPMD) and by fish (rainbow trout) were compared in a laboratory continuous flow system. Accumulation kinetics of organochlorinated pesticides by the triolein-SPMD and by rainbow trout were linear during the exposure period of 20 d, except for lindan. Approach of an asymptote could be observed for lindan at the end of the exposure for rainbow trout. When the kinetic data were used to calculate the first-order uptake rate constants, it was found that the uptake rates of the chemicals in triolein-SPMD were 1-2.5 times higher than those in the fish. The estimated bioconcentration factors of the five pesticides in rainbow trout were in the range of 1000-7000 and the device concentration factor in the range of 1500-18 000. Although equilibrium was not reached for most pesticides under 21-d exposure period, correlations between C L =C w and K ow (R 2 ¼ 0:887) and C f =C w and K ow (R 2 ¼ 0:931) could be observed which was a clear indication that triolein-SPMD accumulates chlorinated pesticides in a quite similar way as fish do. Our results show that triolein-SPMD could serve as a good surrogate for rainbow trout for simulating accumulations of chlorinated pesticides and may be used as a universal surrogate for fish in natural waters. r

“…The SPMDs are designed to sample the truly dissolved fraction by the thermodynamically driven process of solute partitioning [1,5] between the aqueous and lipid phases. In this respect, SPMDs mimic the bioconcentration process of HOCs in aquatic organisms [1,6]. Although the use of man-made SPMDs to complement or to replace BMOs may be valid to better meet the goals of many monitoring programs, their performance must be thoroughly tested relative to traditionally used BMOs under controlled laboratory conditions and in the field.…”

Abstract-Uptake of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) by triolein-containing semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) and by crucian carp (Carassius carassius) was studied in Taihu Lake, a shallow, freshwater lake in China. Crucian carp and SPMDs were deployed side by side for 32 d. The first-order uptake rate constants of individual PAHs and OCPs for the two matrices were calculated and compared to relate the amounts of chemicals accumulated by the matrices to dissolved water concentrations. On a wet-weight basis, total concentrations of PAHs and OCPs in crucian carp fillets averaged 49.5 and 13.6 ng/g, respectively, after the 32-d exposure, whereas concentrations in whole SPMDs averaged 716.9 and 62.3 ng/g, respectively. The uptake rate constants of PAHs and OCPs by SPMDs averaged seven-and fivefold higher, respectively, than those for crucian carp; however, the patterns of uptake rate constants derived from test chemical concentrations in the crucian carp and SPMDs were similar. Although equilibrium was not reached for some PAHs and OCPs during the 32-d exposure period, a reasonably good correlation between the concentration factors (CFs) and octanol/water partition coefficient (K OW ) values of PAHs and OCPs in SPMDs (r ϭ 0.86, p Ͻ 0.001) was observed when potential sorption to dissolved organic carbon was taken into account. Similar efforts to correlate the CFs and K OW values of PAHs and OCPs in crucian carp (r ϭ 0.75, p Ͻ 0.001) were less successful, likely because of PAH metabolism by finfish. Overall, the present results suggest that SPMDs may serve as a surrogate for contaminant monitoring with fish in freshwater lake environments.

“…The first is that caged mussels "equilibrate" with surrounding water within the 60-day deployment period. As noted above, common understanding among investigators is that 60 days is sufficient for these organisms to adjust to the exposure levels experienced at the deployment sites (ASTM, 2001;Axelman et al, 1999;Baussant et al, 2001;Durell et al 2006;Neff and Burns, 1996;Peven et al 1996;Prest et al, 1992;Salazar and Salazar, 1995). A second assumption is that analytical differences between the programs are minor.…”

Measurements of chemical contaminants in caged (transplanted) and resident mussel populations have become a routine tool for monitoring and assessing the status and trends of coastal water quality. However, few long-term data sets are available to assess the comparability and efficacy of these two monitoring approaches. Three long-term independent data sets exist for Boston Harbor: the National Mussel Watch program has analyzed resident blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) from the Boston Harbor/Massachusetts Bay region for over twenty years, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority has annually deployed caged (transplanted) mussels (Mytilus edulis) to assess bioaccumulation potential of sewage effluent discharged under its NPDES permit for over fourteen years, and the GulfWatch program has analyzed resident blue mussel populations for over twelve years. Together, these data provide consistent and comparable information on temporal and spatial changes in chemical contamination in Boston Harbor as steps were taken to reduce contaminant loading. The data also demonstrate the complementary nature of resident and caged (transplanted) mussels for assessing contaminant trends even when the basic approaches and sampling frequency differ. These fifteen year data sets demonstrate contaminant concentrations in mussels from Boston Harbor are similar and with few exceptions have significantly decreased since the early 1990s. The observed trends also demonstrate broad scale improvements to the quality of Boston Harbor and expand understanding of the response of coastal systems to interventions that reduce the load of chemicals to the ocean.Keywords: Mussel Watch, NOAA, GulfWatch, Status and Trends, caged mussels, The long-term data from the Mussel Watch program from 1986 through 2005 also reveal national, regional and local trends (Kimbrough et al., 2008). One of the local areas that received significant national attention in the late 1980s is Boston Harbor. Since then the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority (MWRA), the agency responsible for water supply and treatment of sewage for metropolitan Boston has completed several facility upgrades that improve the quality of sewage discharged to this system. These include termination of sewage sludge discharge in 1991, construction and operation of advanced primary treatment facilities since 1995, completing of advanced secondary treatment facilities in 2002, and relocation of the sewage effluent discharge 9.5 miles offshore in Massachusetts Bay (Werme and Hunt 2006;Rex et al. 2002). Over 95 percent of the sewage discharged from this outfall receives secondary treatment.The MWRA has also monitored the waters and sediments of Boston Harbor and Massachusetts Bay for trends in anthropogenic and other chemicals since the early 1990s (Tucker et al. 2006, Maciolek et al. 2006, Taylor 2005. Several studies have documented major improvements to the water and sediment quality , Bothner and Butman 2007, Zago et al. 2001, Bothner et al. 1998. One element of this long-term monitoring ...
