The ubiquity of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in an aqueous environment may have influence on the carbonaceous material's impact on the bioaccumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to benthonic organisms in contaminated sediment. In the present study, 1 multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT); 2 types of DOM (fulvic acid and tannic acid), and 2 PAHs (pyrene and chrysene) were selected to study the influence of MWNT with preloaded and coexisting DOM on the bioaccumulation of PAHs to Chironomus plumosus larvae in sediment. Moreover, the freely dissolved concentrations of PAHs were measured to explore the influence mechanisms. The results showed that despite the presence or absence of preloaded or coexisting DOM, the presence of 1% MWNT in sediments suppressed the biota‐sediment accumulation factor (BSAF) and elevated the water‐based bioaccumulation factor (BAF) of PAHs. However, the BSAF and BAF values generally decreased with the increase of 2 forms of both DOM; this was caused by the combined impact of DOM and MWNT on the freely dissolved concentrations of PAHs and the ingestion behavior of benthic organisms.
