10 k 1 and k 2 values were
estimated by use of this
nonlinear regression
program. In these
calculations, the initial
exposure concentration (0
hours) was used.
10 The calculation of BCF
from this method comes
from the following
equation:
k 1=[CFish(max)k 2]/[A
exp(-Btmax)]
10 The calculation of BCF
from this method comes
from the following
equation:
k 1=()CFish/)t)Cw
