“…The highest concentration (2.06 ng/g ww) measured there was similar to those in the grasshoppers, but lower than those in the dragonflies, butterflies, and moths, in the present study. The concentrations of PCBs in the dragonflies (530–9200 ng/g lw) in the present study are approximately the same as those in the chironomids (920–9800 ng/g lw) and mayflies (300–5800 ng/g lw) used as bioindicators to monitor seriously contaminated regions in North America and Europe. ,, …”

Few studies have examined the accumulation and fate of persistent halogenated organic pollutants (HOPs) in insects. We measured HOPs, including dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs), polychlorinated biphenyls, and halogenated flame retardants, in insects from four taxonomic groups collected from an e-waste site. Dragonfly larvae collected from a pond contained the highest concentrations of all chemicals except DDTs, while the litchi stinkbugs contained the lowest. Different insect taxa exhibited different contaminant patterns which could be attributed to their habitats and feeding strategies. Bioaccumulation factors for dragonfly larvae and biomagnification factors for moth and grasshopper larvae were significantly positively correlated with the octanol-water partition coefficient of the chemicals (log K < 8). Common nonlinear correlations between the ratio of larval to adult concentrations and log K were observed for all taxa studied. The ratio of concentrations decreased with increasing values of log K (log K < 6-6.5), then increased (6 < log K < 8) and decreased again (log K > 8). This result implies that the mechanism that regulates organic pollutants in insects during metamorphosis is common to all the taxa studied.

“…Chemical analyses were performed using validated and accredited (ISO 17025) methods. Field measure ments on fresh water systems were obtained from monitoring programs carried out by the Institute for Inland Water Management and Waste Water Treatment (RIZA) covering measurements in the mussel Dreissena polymorpha and suspended solids and in juvenile chironomids and sediment ( − ). Terrestrial data were taken from Van Brummelen (), who measured concentrations of 8 PAHs in forest soil and in earthworms.…”

Model estimations of bioaccumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been higher than field or laboratory data. This has been explained by strong sorption to black carbon (BC). In this paper, eight previously published bioaccumulation datasets were reinterpreted in terms of additional BC sorption. Biota--Solids Accumulation Factors (BSAFs) of PAHs typically decreased by 1-2 orders of magnitude and were better in line with field data in marine, fresh water, and terrestrial ecosystems. Probabilistic BC-inclusive modeling showed that if BC content is not accurately known, uncertainty in BSAFs is 2-3 orders of magnitude (90 percentile confidence interval) due to uncertainty in the BC sorption term. When BC contents are measured, the deviation between model estimations and field measurements reduces to about a factor of 3. This implies that including routine measurements of BC contents is crucial in improving risk estimations of PAHs.

“…For example, persistent organic pollutants from industrial sources bioaccumulate in larval aquatic insects and are concentrated across metamorphosis into flying adult aquatic insects such as mayflies and midges (Chumchal & Drenner, 2015; Daley et al, 2011; Naslund et al, 2020; Walters et al, 2008). This increase in contaminant concentrations of flying insects increases the toxicity of an otherwise nutritious food source for terrestrial insectivores such as birds, bats, spiders, reptiles, and amphibians (Custer et al, 2003; Ortega‐Rodriguez et al, 2019; Reinhold et al, 1999). The complex effects of contaminants on aquatic‐terrestrial linkages are driven in part by the physiochemical properties of the contaminant present (Kraus, 2019), which has important implications for assessing and mitigating the impacts of contaminant spills or releases into the environment (Table 1).…”

Contamination of aquatic ecosystems can have cascading effects on terrestrial consumers by altering the availability and quality of aquatic insect prey. Comprehensive assessment of these indirect food‐web effects of contaminants on natural resources and their associated services necessitates using both ecological and economic tools. In the present study we present an aquatic‐terrestrial assessment tool (AT2), including ecological and economic decision trees, to aid practitioners and researchers in designing contaminant effect studies for linked aquatic‐terrestrial insect‐based food webs. The tool is tailored to address the development of legal claims by the US Department of the Interior's Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration Program, which aims to restore natural resources injured by oil spills and hazardous substance releases into the environment. Such cases require establishing, through scientific inquiry, the existence of natural resource injury as well as the determination of the monetary or in‐kind project‐based damages required to restore this injury. However, this tool is also useful to researchers interested in questions involving the effects of contaminants on linked aquatic‐terrestrial food webs. Stylized cases exemplify how application of AT2 can help practitioners and researchers design studies when the contaminants present at a site are likely to lead to injury of terrestrial aerial insectivores through loss of aquatic insect prey and/or dietary contaminant exposure. Designing such studies with ecological endpoints and economic modeling inputs in mind will increase the relevance and cost‐effectiveness of studies, which can in turn improve the outcomes of cases and studies involving the ecological effects of contaminants on food webs.
