| Description |
During 2002, the Washington State Toxics Monitoring Program analyzed 12 samples of fish tissue from eight sites for a variety of toxic contaminants. PCBs and PCDD/Fs frequently exceeded criteria for the protection of human health while levels of DDT, dieldrin, and mercury showed fewer exceedances. Other contaminants found were chlordanes, hexachlorobenzene, pentachloroanisole, methoxychlor, and PBDEs.
Water samples from nine sites were analyzed for 115 pesticides; 17 pesticides were detected at low levels and low frequencies.
Recommendations include (1) evaluating potential human health risks from consumption of contaminated fish, and (2) placing six sites in Category 5 of Washington’s 303(d) list. |
