The concentration of diazinon has been measured to be 23.3 µg/L in Lake Oekko. The bioconcentration factor for diazinon is 337 L/kg. What is the expected concentration in the fish living in the lake? Solution Diazinon = 23.3 g/L, bioconcentration factor = 337 L/kg. Concentration = (23.3 g/L)(337 L/kg) = 7850 g/kg.

1. The concentration of diazinon has been measured to be 23.3 µg/L in Lake Oekko. The
bioconcentration factor for diazinon is 337 L/kg. What is the expected concentration in the fish
living in the lake?
Solution
Diazinon = 23.3 g/L,
bioconcentration factor = 337 L/kg.
Concentration = (23.3 g/L)(337 L/kg) = 7850 g/kg
