Uptake and accumulation of persistent hydrophobic chemicals by benthic and terrestrial invertebrates in water, sediment, and soil depends on the hydrophobicity of the compound (log Kow) and the lipid content of the organism. Several methods exist to determine the route of uptake. Their advantages and drawbacks are discussed. The route of uptake of hydrophobic contaminants is mainly via interstitial water, but for compounds with log Kow > 5 uptake from soil and sediment particles becomes important. In the presence of sediment or soil, the bulk of hydrophobic contaminants is sorbed to sediment/soil particles. Accumulation is, therefore, also controlled by sorption-related factors, such as the organic matter content and composition of sediment/soil, the presence of oil, particle size distribution, and the residence time of the contaminant. Other factors may be clay content and the presence of metals. It is shown that organic matter is the most important factor controlling accumulation in benthic and terrestr...
