Description | During 1995, the Washington State Department of Ecology conducted a survey of chemical contaminants in bottom sediments from 29 areas throughout Salmon Bay. Sediments were analyzed for metals (arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc), semivolatile organics, PCBs, and butyltins. Chemical data were compared to earlier studies in the basin and areal distributions were evaluated. Data were also compared to criteria to assess potential effects on aquatic organisms. Recommendations for further actions are included. | ||||
