Bioaccumulation of Heavy Metals and Organic Contaminants.

Abstract

State of the art chemical analysis techniques were used for characterizing the contamination of dredged material, animal tissue, and water samples. This report provides tabular summaries of all analytical work carried out to date, including concentrations of heavy metals and PCA and PCB in selected contaminated sediments and earthworm populations grown in the contaminated sediments. Sediment sources include Times Beach and adjacent Buffalo River, Bridgeport FVP, and Ottawa, Ill.
