pollutant uptake

In this way, the mechanism of pollutant uptake by the respiratory system can be used to predict potential health impacts within the human population.

Identification of the pollutant uptake by the respiratory system can determine how the resulting exposure contributes to the dose.

Simply due to the high number of microorganism in MBRs, the pollutants uptake rate can be increased.

This difference between benthic, stream environments and pelagic, lake environments may be related to processes affecting pollutant uptake, i.e., pollutant ``spiralling'' or the shift from heterotrophy to autotrophy in streams.

The rate of pollutant uptake in this layer (or the rate produced by benthic demand) will be influenced by the type of biological material, temperature, flow and sediment characteristics and depth (Milne, 1991).
