SPATIALLY DISTRIBUTED BIOACCUMULATION RISK ANALYSIS: A GIS-BASED TOOL AND A CASE STUDY OF POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS IN THE GREAT LAKES

This thesis presents a GIS-based tool Arc-BEST (Bioaccumulation Evaluation Screening Tool) to perform spatially distributed bioaccumulation risk analyses. Estimating bioaccumulation risk is important to help predict potentially adverse effects from contaminants on ecosystems and human health, which...
