Analysis of Uncertainty in TBP Estimation of PAH Bioaccumulation Potential in Sediments.

Abstract

Theoretical Bioaccumulation Potential (TBP) is commonly estimated to evaluate dredged sediments for open-water disposal. At present, such estimations are made without a measure of the uncertainty associated with the result. The purpose of this technical note is to demonstrate methods of calculating uncertainty in TBP.
