heal.abstract	The scope of this study is to assess the suitability of the equilibrium partitioning theory for the prediction of the bioaccumulation of organic chemicals in aquatic biota. It is found that the equilibrium partitioning approach gives accurate bioaccumulation factor predictions when it is compared with data measured under laboratory conditions and with field data for plankton. However, equilibrium partitioning theory gives progressively poorer results for the higher levels of an aquatic food web, since it does not take into account biomagnification along the food chain.	en
