Abstract
A novel method based on a first-order two-compartment model was used to determine the bioconcentration and toxicokinetic rate constants of six different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the freshwater isopod Asellus aquaticus, a common species in most European freshwater systems. Numerical integration and iterative parameter estimation techniques were applied to account for time-varying aqueous exposure concentrations. All PAHs exhibited a rapid uptake. Monophasic elimination patterns were observed for benzo[e]pyrene and benzo[a]-pyrene (biological half-life t
