| Description |
Recent sediment analysis in Elliott Bay, Washington, showed elevated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) near the Wyckoff wood treating plant. For this study, additional sediment samples were taken within 200 meters of the site to determine the distribution and severity of contamination. Relative abundance of individual high weight PAHs helped identify potential sources. Concentrations of metals (As, Cr, Cu, and Zn) associated with wood preservation were also examined. |
