| Description | A range of potentially toxic metals and organic compounds were analyzed in fish fillet and whole fish samples from 12 northeast Washington lakes and 2 rivers thought to be minimally impacted by local human activities. One lake and one river were also sampled in northern Idaho. Sediment samples were analyzed from most of these locations, results of which were published in a previous report (Part 1). The goal of the overall study was to provide regional-scale data to support cleanup activities associated with northeastern Washington waterbodies. The chemicals analyzed in fish tissue included antimony, arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, zinc, PCBs, dioxins, and brominated flame retardants. | ||||
