| Description |
In 2004 and 2005, the Washington State Toxics Monitoring Program analyzed 104 fish tissue samples representing 18 species from 49 freshwater sites and Chinook salmon from three coastal rivers. Contaminants frequently detected were mercury, PCBs, dioxins and furans, chlorinated pesticides, and PBDE flame retardants.
Contaminant levels in 93 samples from 45 sites did not meet Washington’s water quality standards. Contaminants exceeding standards were PCBs, 2,3,7,8-TCDD, mercury, 4,4’-DDE, 4,4’-DDD, dieldrin, chlordane, hexachlorobenzene, and toxaphene.
Recommendations include (1) evaluation of results to assess risks to human health from the consumption of contaminated fish, and (2) federal Clean Water Act Section 303(d)
