Abstract
⺠We focus on the most common biotransformation reactions in mammals. ⺠We compare the log Kow of organic pollutants with the log Kow of their metabolites. ⺠The log Kow decreases by a factor between 0 and â2, depending on the reaction. ⺠The trends with predicted log Kow are validated using experimental log Kow. ⺠The quantification of Kow reduction may improve bioaccumulation models.
