charged and hydrophobic–hydrophilic sites within biofilms allows participation of different types of contaminants in a range of interactions
Biofilms have a diverse chemical and biological gradient allowing for any type pollutants to stick on it which is why there is no correlation of Dow and Kow to Biofilm samples.
-
metal burden in biofilms was strongly related to adverse impacts on periphyton and ecological integrity of the macroinvertebrate community.
High levels of metals found in the biofilms have harmful effects on microorganisms such as algae, bacteria, fungi. which are periphyton (and they are part of food web) disrupting the ecosystem and also affecting macroinverterbrates (insects, worms) that help with nutrient cycling.
-
include chloroacetanilides, triazines (herbicides); organophosphates, pyrethroids, phenylpyrazoles (insecticides); and triazoles (fungicides).
Sediments that can be in a stream sample sediment. We have quantified phosphates that have been found in a past lab.
