| Description |
During 2008, the Washington State Toxics Monitoring Program analyzed 36 fish tissue samples representing 16 species of fish from 25 freshwater sites in Washington. Contaminants frequently detected were mercury, PCBs, PBDE flame retardants, 4,4-DDE, and dioxins and furans.
Contaminant levels in 24 samples from 14 sites did not meet Washington's water quality standards. Contaminants not meeting standards were PCBs, toxaphene, 4,4’-DDE, dioxins/furans, hexachlorobenzene, and dieldrin.
Recommendations include (1) add 14 sites to the federal Clean Water Act Section 303(d) list, and (2) evaluate results to assess risks to human health from the consumption of contaminated fish. |
