Description This report summarizes the readily available data collected since 1995 on selected toxic chemicals in the water column of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Strait of Georgia, and Puget Sound. Water column data on toxic chemicals were identified as an important component of an overall strategy to control chemical inputs to Puget Sound. Data were sought for selected toxic heavy metals, persistent organic compounds, pesticides, and hormone disruptors. There are much more useful data on metals than on organic compounds. Further sampling is recommended to fill the data gaps.
