| Abstract | Quantitative mussel biomonitoring studies often use laboratory-measured whole-body elimination rate coefficients (k(tot) in conjunction with concentration data from field-deployed mussels to estimate bioavailable steady-state contaminant concentrations (C(m(ss)) in aquatic systems. However, the validity of applying laboratory k(tot) values to field-deployed mussels has not been verified. The present study quantified in situ k(tot) values by the common mussel biomonitor species Elliptio complanata for a group of performance reference compound polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry 23, 61, 109, and 173) at 11 sites along the Lake Huron-Lake Erie corridor (southeast MI, USA, and southwest ON, Canada). Predictive site-specific k(tot) versus log K(ow) relationships were derived to estimate in situ k(tot) values for the bioaccumulated environmental PCB congeners, and the resultant steady-state concentration estimates were compared against values estimated using laboratory-derived k(tot) values. In situ k(tot) values were almost always faster (1.3-10-fold) than rate coefficients determined by laboratory studies, with a mean difference +/- standard error of 3.89 +/- 0.28-fold. Consequently, control adjusted steady-state concentrations of sum PCBs in the mussels were overestimated by factors ranging from 1.30 to 3.45 across sites when using laboratory-derived k(tot) values in place of in situ k(tot) values and a field deployment period of 90 d. This error was shown to increase with increasing congener hydrophobicity, as represented by their log K(ow) values, and when shorter field deployment times are performed. To more accurately predict the steady-state concentrations of environmentally accumulated PCBs in mussels, it is recommended that future quantitative biomonitoring studies employ the reference compound approach for measuring site-specific in situ k(tot) values. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
