Ecotoxicology toksikologi ekosistem
Bioaccumulation = the accumulation of a contaminant
or toxin in or on an organism
from all sources (e.g., food, water, air).
Biomagnification = the increase in concentration of
toxin as it passes through successive levels of the
food web
Bioaccumulation
• Assimilation Efficiency (= Lindeman’s Efficiency
Lindeman 1942. Ecology 23: 399-418)
• AE increases with trophic level
• When a chemical is assimilated more efficiently than
organic energy -> bioaccumulation

Absorpsi dari kulit • Melewati bbg lapisan sel (stratum
corneum, epidermis, dermis) menuju
pembuluh darah .
• Faktor yang mempengaruhi :
lipid solubility, hydrasi kulit
(sole of feet vs. scrotum)
Absorption by the Skin
Absorpsi melalui kulit • Permeability depends on the diffusivity and thickness
(depends on the area of the body) of the stratum
corneum
• Polar outer surface of protein filaments of the
hydrated stratum corneum
• Nonpolar lipid matrix between protein filaments
• Percutaneous absorption lower layers of the
epidermis and dermis
• Below the s.corneum porous, nonselective aqueous
medium
• Compromised stratum corneum integrity
• Increased stratum corneum hydration
• Increased temperature increased blood flow
• Low solubility of toxicant in the vehicle • Small size Increased Absorption
Distribution:
proses translokasi dari Toxicant menuju
seluruh bagian tubuh
• Darah membawa Toxicant menuju site of
action, storage depots, organ transformasi, dan
organ eliminasi
• Kecepatan distribusi Toxicant tergantung :
-- aliran darah
– karakteristik toxicant (afinitas thd jaringan dan
partition coefficient)
• Distribusi mungkin berubah setiap waktu
Distribusi:
Storage / Binding • Storage di dlm Adipose tissue sangat
lipophylic (DDT). Cepat dimobilisasi dari fat
(starvation) , cepat meningkat dalam darah
cepat meningkat dalam darah
• Storage dalam tulang (Bone) Chemicals

Biotransformation
• Key organs in biotransformation
– LIVER (high)
– Lung, Kidney, Intestine (medium)
– Others (low)
• Biotransformation Pathways
* Phase I--make the toxicant more water
soluble
* Phase II--Links with a soluble endogenous
agent (conjugation)
Individual Susceptibility
--there can be 10-30 fold difference in response to a
toxicant in a population
• Genetics-species, strain variation, interindividual variations (yet still can extrapolate between mammals--similar biological mechanisms)
• Gender (gasoline nephrotox in male mice only)
• Age--young (old too)
– underdeveloped excretory mechanisms
– underdeveloped biotransformation enzymes
– underdeveloped blood-brain barrier • Age--old
– changes in excretion and metabolism rates, body fat
• Nutritional status
• Health conditions
• Previous or Concurrent Exposures
– additive --antagonistic
– synergistic
Distribution:
the process in which a chemical agent translocates
throughout the body
• Blood carries the agent to and from its site of action, storage
depots, organs of transformation, and organs of elimination
• Rate of distribution (rapid) dependent upon
– blood flow
– characteristics of toxicant (affinity for the tissue, and the
partition coefficient)
• Distribution may change over time
Distribution:
Storage and Binding
• Storage in Adipose tissue--Very lipophylic
compounds (DDT) will store in fat. Rapid
mobilization of the fat (starvation) can rapidly
increase blood concentration
• Storage in Bone--Chemicals analogous to Calcium--
Fluoride, Lead, Strontium
• Binding to Plasma proteins--can displace
endogenous compounds. Only free is available for
adverse effects or excretion
Target Organs: adverse effect is dependent upon the
concentration of active compound at the target site for
enough time
• Not all organs are affected equally
– greater susceptibility of the target organ
– higher concentration of active compound
• Liver--high blood flow, oxidative reactions
• Kidney--high blood flow, concentrates chemicals
• Lung--high blood flow, site of exposure
• Neurons--oxygen dependent, irreversible damage
• Myocardium--oxygen dependent
• Bone marrow, intestinal mucosa--rapid divide
Target organ
• Carbon tetrachloride – liver
• Mercury & lead – CNS, kidneys &
hematopoietic system
• Benzene – hematopoietic system
Storage sites
• Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) –
fat depots no toxic effect
• Nose is a ―scrubber‖ for water-soluble and highly reactive gases
• Solubility ratio (blood-to-gas partition coefficient) – conc. in blood/conc. in gas phase before or at saturation
• Low solubility ratio – blood flow through the lungs (perfusion-limited)
• Highs solubility ratio – rate and depth of respiration (ventilation-limited)
• Lungs are capable of biotransformation & elimination
• Steady state concentration can be reached
• Aerosols dependent on aerosol size & water solubility
• 5um or more – lodged in nasopharyngeal region
• 2.5 um – tracheobronchial region
• 1 um or less – alveolar sacs of blood

Target Organs: adverse effect tergantung pada
kadar senyawa aktif dlm target site untuk waktu
yang cukup
• Tidak semua organ dipengaruhi sama ,tetapi
tergantung
– Kepekaan target organ
– Kadar toxicant yg tinggi dalam target organ
• Liver—aliran drh sangat tinggi,oxidative reactions
• Kidney—aliran drh sangat tinggi, bhn kimia
terkonsentrat
• Lung--high blood flow, tempat pemaparan
• Neurons--oxygen dependent, kerusakan irreversible
• Myocardium--oxygen dependent
• Bone marrow, intestinal mucosa -- rapid divide cell
Target Sites:
Mechanisms of Action
• Adverse effects can occur at the level of
the molecule, cell, organ, or organism
• Molecularly, chemical can interact with
Proteins Lipids DNA
• Cellularly, chemical can
– interfere with receptor-ligand binding
– interfere with membrane function
– interfere with cellular energy production
– bind to biomolecules
– perturb homeostasis (Ca)
Excretion: Toxicants are eliminated from the
body by several routes
• Urinary excretion
– water soluble products are filtered out of
the blood by the kidney and excreted into
the urine
• Exhalation
– Volatile compounds are exhaled by
breathing
• Biliary Excretion via Fecal Excretion
– Compounds can be extracted by the liver
and excreted into the bile. The bile drains
into the small intestine and is eliminated in
the feces.
