Measured versus predicted steady-state lipid normalized concentrations (C_biota) in Tubificidae. The estimated steady-state concentrations were calculated from C_biota = BCF * C_{pore water}, where the BCF is the bioconcentration factor, which was based on literature values that provided a Log K_ow model from which BCF values were estimated and the C_{pore water} was determined with passive samplers. The solid line represents the 1:1 line for 16 organic chemicals, with log K_ow values ranging from 4.6 to 7.5. Figure was adapted with permission from Kraaij et al. (2003).
