Abstract

An assessment was made of the in situ bioaccumulation of 13 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in freshwater isopods in relation to their partitioning between sediments, particulate matter (>0.7 μm), and dissolved phases in eight different water systems of The Netherlands. Large differences in total (F PAHs) concentrations and in relative abundance of individual PAHs were observed between organisms and abiotic compartments and among sampling stations. Principal component analysis revealed distinct differences between PAH profiles in sediments and water. High molecular weight PAHs dominated in the sediments, fluoranthene and pyrene in the isopods, and naphthalene in water. Apparent lipid-based bioconcentration factors (BCFs) increased with increasing hydrophobicity (n-octanol/water partition coefficient; K(ow)). The total range of the BCFs varied only one order of magnitude, ranging from 10
