Digestive Kinetics Determines Bloavailability of Pollutants

Authors: Robert H. Findlay; MIAMI UNIV FL
 
Abstract: (1) Determine digestive physiology of deposit feeders; (2) Determine the fraction of total pollutants in sediments released during incubation of polluted sediments with digestive fluid of deposit feeders; (3) Examine partitioning of pollutants in sediments, mechanism of digestive fluid solubilization, and design an in vitro method to measure their bioavailability.
