Modelling bioaccumulation and elimination dynamics of some xenobiotic pollutants (Cd, Hg, PCB, HCB) based on in situ observations with Mytilus edulis

Concentrations and body burdens of bio-availabe Hg, Cd, HCB and PCB isomers were measured by analysing samples of mussels, Mytilus edulis, L in the Eastern Scheldt (location: Kats) and the more heavily polluted Western Scheldt Estuary (location Perkpolder). Despite practical difficulties data ...
