Organic matter (OM), clays, sand or time are factors possibly influencing the bioaccessibility of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) from sediments. An experimental design was performed to monitor and quantify this process. The bioaccessible fraction, linked to the rapidly-desorbing fraction (Fᵣₐₚ) of contaminants, was assessed through a non-exhaustive extraction using a carboxymethyl-β-cyclodextrin polymer. OM content was the most influential factor as regards Fᵣₐₚ. Clay percentage was a slightly influential factor for PAHs while the interaction sand × OM was a slightly influential factor for PCBs. Fᵣₐₚ was also determined in a sediment core collected from Martot’s Pond (France). The higher the PAH/PCB concentration in this sediment, the higher the bioaccessible fraction. The relationship between a lower bioaccessibility and a higher number of PAHs cycles or PCB chlorines was linear. OM content impacted on Fᵣₐₚ only for PAHs. Sequential extractions of some trace elements were also performed to evaluate their mobility. Cu, Cr, Pb, Ni were the less bioaccessible. A great part of As, Cd and Zn was found in the most bioaccessible sediment fractions. The 40–65 cm section might be considered as the most negatively impacting on the aquatic fauna, due to Cd and Zn high bioaccessible concentrations.
