| Description | This study summarizes results from the seventh year of sampling lead in suspended particulate matter (SPM) as part of the PBT trend monitoring program. The Department of Ecology analyzed a total of 60 SPM samples from 15 monitoring sites across Washington in 2014. Lead concentrations ranged from below detection limits to 1,607 mg/kg, with a median of 108 mg/kg. The highest levels were found in the Spokane River, followed by urban streams and the Upper Columbia River. Recommendations include increasing sampling frequency, adding more small streams to the monitoring site list, discontinuing sampling of the mid-sized rivers, and researching time-integrated sampling methods. |
