1、Designation: E 1688 00a (Reapproved 2007)Standard Guide forDetermination of the Bioaccumulation of Sediment-Associated Contaminants by Benthic Invertebrates1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1688; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adop

2、tion or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This guide covers procedures for measuring the bioac-cumulation of sed

3、iment-associated contaminants by infaunalinvertebrates. Marine, estuarine, and freshwater sediments area major sink for chemicals that sorb preferentially to particles,such as organic compounds with high octanol-water-partitioning coefficients (Kow) (for example, polychlorinatedbiphenyls (PCBs) and

4、dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT)and many heavy metals. The accumulation of chemicals intowhole or bedded sediments (that is, consolidated rather thansuspended sediments) reduces their direct bioavailability topelagic organisms but increases the exposure of benthic organ-isms. Feeding of pelagic

5、 organisms on benthic prey canreintroduce sediment-associated contaminants into pelagicfood webs. The bioaccumulation of sediment-associated con-taminants by sediment-dwelling organisms can therefore resultin ecological impacts on benthic and pelagic communities andhuman health from the consumption

6、of contaminated shellfishor pelagic fish.1.2 Methods of measuring bioaccumulation by infaunalorganisms from marine, estuarine, and freshwater sedimentswill be discussed. The procedures are designed to generatequantitative estimates of steady-state tissue residues becausedata from bioaccumulation tes

7、ts are often used in ecological orhuman health risk assessments. Eighty percent of steady-stateis used as the general criterion. Because the results from asingle or few species are often extrapolated to other species,the procedures are designed to maximize exposure to sediment-associated contaminant

8、s so that residues in untested species arenot underestimated systematically. A 28-day exposure withsediment-ingesting invertebrates and no supplemental food isrecommended as the standard single sampling procedure.Procedures for long-term and kinetic tests are provided for usewhen 80 % of steady-stat

9、e will not be obtained within 28 daysor when more precise estimates of steady-state tissue residuesare required. The procedures are adaptable to shorter exposuresand different feeding types. Exposures shorter than 28 daysmay be used to identify which compounds are bioavailable(that is, bioaccumulati

10、on potential) or for testing species thatdo not live for 28 days in the sediment (for example, certainChironomus). Non-sediment-ingestors or species requiringsupplementary food may be used if the goal is to determineuptake in these particular species because of their importancein ecological or human

11、 health risk assessments. However, theresults from such species should not be extrapolated to otherspecies.1.3 Standard test methods are still under development, andmuch of this guide is based on techniques used in successfulstudies and expert opinion rather than experimental compari-sons of differe

12、nt techniques. Also, relatively few marine/estuarine (for example, Nereis and Macoma), freshwater (forexample, Diporeia and Lumbriculus variegatus) species, andprimarily neutral organic compounds provide a substantialportion of the basis for the guide. Nonetheless, sufficientprogress has been made i

Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 The words “must,” “should,” “may,” “can,” and“might” have very specific meanings in this guide. “Must” isused to express an absolute requirement, that is, to state that thetest needs

27、to be designed to satisfy the specified conditions,unless the purpose of the test requires a different design.“Must” is used only in connection with the factors that relatedirectly to the acceptability of the test. “Should” is used to statethat the specified conditions are recommended and ought to b

28、emet in most tests. Although the violation of one “should” israrely a serious matter, violation of several will often renderresults questionable. Terms such as “is desirable,” “is oftendesirable,” and “might be desirable” are used in connectionwith less important factors. “May” is used to mean “is (

29、are)allowed to,” “can” is used to mean “is (are) able to,” and“might” is used to mean “could possibly.” Thus, the classicdistinction between “may” and “can” is preserved, and “might”is never used as a synonym for either “may” or “can.”3.1.2 For definitions of terms used in this guide, refer toGuide
