Relationship between the lipid content of fish and their bioconcentration potential of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene

Journal Article · · Chemosphere; (United States)
; ;
A significant positive correlation between the lipid content of eight fish species and their bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene is demonstrated. The log BCF value on a lipid basis is in good agreement with the log n-octanol/water partition coefficient.
