Knowledge regarding partitioning behavior and bioaccumulation potential of environmental contaminants is important for ecological and human health risk assessment. While a range of models are available to describe bioaccumulation potential of hydrophobic organic chemicals (HOCs) in temperate aquatic food webs, their applicability to tropical systems still needs to be validated. The present study involved field investigations to assess the occurrence, partitioning, and bioaccumulation behavior of several legacy and emerging HOCs in mangrove ecosystems in Singapore. Concentrations of synthetic musk fragrance compounds, methyl triclosan (MTCS), polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorine pesticides, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were measured in mangrove sediments, clams, and caged mussels. Freely dissolved concentrations of the HOCs in water were determined using silicone rubber passive samplers. Results showed that polycyclic musks and MTCS are present in mangrove ecosystems and can accumulate in the tissues of mollusks. The generated HOC concentration data for mangrove water, sediments, and biota samples was further utilized to evaluate water-sediment partitioning (e.g., Koc values) and bioaccumulation behavior (e.g., BAF and BSAF values). Overall, the empirical models fit reasonably well with the data obtained for this ecosystem, supporting the concept that general models are applicable to predict the behavior of legacy and emerging HOCs in mangrove ecosystems.
