title: Uptake of moderately hydrophobic chlorophenols from water by semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) and by goldfish (Crassius auratus).
abstract: Semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) filled with triolein and goldfish (Crassius auratus) were simultaneously exposed to nine moderately hydrophobic chlorophenols in a laboratory continuous-flow experiment. The results showed that the test compounds were concentrated in the device to an extent very closed to that in fish. The overall uptake rate constants (Ku) and average pollutant sampling rates (Rs) were similar for both SPMDs and goldfish. We conclude that the SPMDs can be used to estimate the levels of moderately hydrophobic chlorophenols in field water as an environmental monitor.
