| Description | Twelve freshwater sites statewide were sampled for persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic (PBT) chemicals during 2007, the first year of the trend monitoring program. Semipermeable membrane devices (passive samplers) were deployed for a one-month period during both the spring and fall. Contaminants frequently detected were PCBs, PBDEs, DDT and endosulfan compounds, dieldrin, and pentachloroanisole. Contaminant levels for toxaphene, dieldrin, and PCBs did not meet Washington or EPA water quality criteria at five sites. Recommendations include (1) program changes to improve identification of baseline concentrations, (2) adding other PBTs to the study, and (3) exploring potential sampling sites for future studies. |
