What is bioaccumulation?
Increase in the concentration of a contaminant
in an animal over time
Incorporates uptake from diet and through gills
time

What does NR105 say about
bioaccumulation factors?
105.10(1): The BAF used to derive
surface water criteria is determined
using the methodology in 40 CFR part
132, Appendix B
105.10(3): Measured BAFs shall be obtained
from available sources, including: EPA Ambient
Water Quality Criteria documents, published
scientific literature, reports issued by EPA or
other reliable sources, or unpublished data

What does NR105 say about
bioaccumulation factors?
105.10(5): BAFs for inorganic substances
BAFs for organic substances are calculated by
incorporating the lipid content of fish.
However…PFAS do not accumulate in fats like other
organic compounds, so the procedures to calculate
BAFs for inorganic compounds are more appropriate.
This is the same rationale also used by Michigan
and Florida when deriving SWQC.

What does NR105 say about
bioaccumulation factors?
105.10(5): BAFs for inorganic substances
Measured BAFs shall be based on edible tissue
(e.g., muscle) of freshwater fish.
BAFs based on measurements of aquatic plants and
invertebrates may not be used.
If >1 field measured BAFs are available from studies
in the Great Lakes system, the geometric mean of
the species mean BAFs shall be used as the human
health BAF for that substance.

How are bioaccumulation
factors calculated?
Ratio of the concentration of a substance in
fish tissue to its concentration in the ambient
water
