Abstract Long Description

A Quality Assurance (QA) Project Plan is provided for analyzing polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants in selected rivers and lakes in Washington State. The goal of the study is to establish baseline conditions in freshwater areas that can be used in the future to evaluate the effectiveness of Washington′s Interim PBDE Chemical Action Plan and other efforts to reduce PBDE inputs to the environment. PBDE concentrations will be determined in fish tissue samples from 20 lakes and water samples from 10 lakes. The study will be conducted during 2005-2006.
