• PFAS Exposure Pathways for Humans and Wildlife: A Synthesis of Current Knowledge and Key Gaps in Understanding (2020, background): “Early PFAS bioaccumulation modeling suggested that some PFAS are efficiently eliminated though the gills of water‐breathing organisms but biomagnify to a greater degree in air‐breathing organisms because of limited lung–air exchange (Kelly et al. 2007).”
• Happy Feet in a Hostile World? The Future of Penguins Depends on Proactive Management of Current and Expected Threats (2019, background): “Despite small fractions eliminated by guano (Falkowska and Reindl, 2015), POPs can persist and accumulate in penguins, with enhanced circulation of pollutants when animals are fasting and mobilize fat reserves (e.g., Dehnhard et al., 2017).”
• Bioaccumulation of Polar and Ionizable Compounds in Plants (2009, background): “It is generally accepted that bioaccumulation is closely related to lipophilicity of a compound, measured as the partition coefficient between n-octanol and water, KOW, or the partition coefficient between n-octanol and air, KOA [6, 7 ]. Accordingly, a theoretical relation for aquatic biota was sug”
• Microalgae-based wastewater treatment: Mechanisms, challenges, recent advances, and future prospects (2022, background): “Although most PC concentrations in the environment are in the range of ng L 1 to a few mg L 1, there is growing evidence that they have negative ecological effects on both target and non-target microorganisms, such as inhibiting microbes' growth, changing microbial communities, decreasing soil micro”
• Global Water Pollution and Human Health (2010, background): “In the context of global water pollution, POPs pose a severe problem primarily because of their particularly large bioaccumulation and biomagnification potential in aquatic food webs (45, 46).”
