| Description | For this 2007 study, contaminants were measured in surface sediments and tissues of English sole from greater Elliott Bay. Median levels of dioxins/furans in sediments of 2 depths were 7.7 and 5.9 ng/kg Toxic Equivalents (TEQ). English sole whole-body tissue and skinless fillet samples had 0.99-1.71 and 0.26-0.57 ng/kg (wet weight) TEQ dioxins/furans, respectively. Tissue preparation influenced levels more than where fish were collected. Levels of most organic contaminants in 0-2 and 0-10 cm sediment samples did not differ, but most trace metals and PCBs were significantly lower in 0-2 cm samples. Sediment contaminant levels at 5 of 30 stations may represent area background conditions. |
