Abstract
- Suspended particulate matter (SPM) refers to fine-grained materials that are suspended in water columns. By providing a surface for the adsorption of non-polar organic compounds, SPM is a carrier for persistent and toxic contaminants. A wide range of organic pollutants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), can be adsorbed onto SPM. The formation of particle-associated PAHs can sequentially increase the potential for exposure to and bioaccumulation by organisms. Until recently, most oil exposure studies were performed using freely dissolved and dispersed forms, and therefore the role of SPM in influencing the bioavailability and bioaccumulation of PAHs has not been considered. This study found that SPM influences the bioavailability of petrogenic PAHs in the water column and their potential for accumulation in oysters. SPM significantly enhanced the water column entrainment of petrogenic PAHs, thus increasing the potentials for uptake by exposed organisms. PAHs in the water column was highest from mechanically dispersed oil (MDO; 2.27 mu g/mL) >= oil-SPM aggregate (OSA; 1.96 mu g/mL) > water accommodated fraction (WAF; 0.19 mu g/mL) but the percentage of PAHs accumulated in oysters were highest from WAF (18.3%) > MDO (14.2%) > OSA (9.62%). Despite the high water column available PAHs, oysters exposed to SPM-associated oil accumulated PAHs at half the accumulation efficiency compared with those exposed to PAHs without SPM.
