Description | The Department of Ecology analyzed lead in suspended particulate matter (SPM) from 15 sites throughout Washington State for the fourth year of a long-term monitoring effort. A total of 59 samples were collected in the spring and fall of 2011. Lead concentrations ranged from below detection limits to 1,780 mg/kg, with a median of 64 mg/kg. The Spokane River at the Idaho border had the highest lead concentrations, followed by the Spokane River Nine Mile site. Lead levels were also elevated at three urban streams and the Upper Columbia River site. |
