Bioaccumulation
Overall model for estimation of soil-to-earthworm BAFs for non-ionic organic analytes (EPA 2000):
where BAFworm = soil to earthworm bioaccumulation factor (
)
foc = fraction organic carbon in soil. Default is set to 1%.
Kow = octanol-water partitioning coefficient.
Model for estimation of soil-to-plant foliage BAFs for non-ionic organic analytes (EPA 2000):
where BAFplant = soil to plant foliage bioaccumulation factor (
)
Kow = octanol-water partitioning coefficient.
