摘要: Transfer ratios of metals, PCBs, pesticides and PAHs from the sediment to chironomid larvae adults collected in a highly contaminated area, Biesbosch, were studied. Metal concentrations 0.28 (Cd), 0.02 (Cr), 0.52 (Cu), 0.06 (Hg), 0.03 (Pb), 0.32 (Zn) times those found standard sediment, on dry weight basis. Hg Zn well transported adult stage. Dry contaminant residues 0.38 0.23 0.62 1.03 0.08 0.94 (Zn). For PCBs pesticides, concentration fat (dry organic matter) varied around 3.3, which is consistent with laboratory studies. Organochlorine comparable lipids. However, non-ortho 1.7 higher adults. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), larval fat:sediment (organic ranged 0.004 0.1.
