| Abstract | Long Description |
A trend monitoring design is proposed for chlorinated pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers in nine major Washington rivers and lakes. These compounds are among the primary contaminants of human health concern in local freshwater fish and include chemicals classed as Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxins targeted for cleanup, reduction, and, where possible, elimination. Monitoring will be done with a passive sampling technique that employs a Semipermeable Membrane Devices (SPMDs). SPMDS will be deployed at eleven stations, twice a year (spring and fall) as follows: Spokane, Okanogan, Wenatchee, Yakima, Walla Walla, Snohomish, Columbia (three stations), and the Green/Duwamish rivers and Lake Washington. |
