An assessment of the bioaccumulation of estrone in Daphnia magna (2004)
Journal Article
Gomes, R. L., Deacon, H. E., Lai, K. M., Birkett, J. W., Scrimshaw, M. D., & Lester, J. N. (2004). An assessment of the bioaccumulation of estrone in Daphnia magna. Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 23(1), 105-108. https://doi.org/10.1897/02-613

The bioaccumulation of estrone by Daphnia magna was determined. Direct uptake via the aqueous medium occurred within the first 16 h. A bioconcentration factor of 228 was established over all temporal periods. Ingestion via Chlorella vulgaris gave a p...

Determination of endocrine disrupters in sewage treatment and receiving waters (2003)
Journal Article
Gomes, R. L., Scrimshaw, M. D., & Lester, J. N. (2003). Determination of endocrine disrupters in sewage treatment and receiving waters. Trends in Analytical Chemistry, 22(10), 697-707. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0165-9936%2803%2901010-0

The presence of numerous endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) in surface waters and sediment has been primarily attributed to their incomplete removal in the sewage-treatment process. Determination of these chemicals is required in order to assess t... Read More about Determination of endocrine disrupters in sewage treatment and receiving waters.
