Bioaccumulation and elimination of waterborne mercury in the midge larvae, Chironomus riparius Meigen (Diptera: Chironomidae)
Here, mercury kinetics and behavioural effects in the midge larvae under a water-only exposure were assessed. Uptake and elimination of waterborne mercury were described by using a one-compartment kinetic model. Results show that midges were able to readily accumulate the heavy metal (BCF = 450), pr...
