PCB Changes in Fish After Remediation of a Hazardous Waste Site

screen shot of SETAC psoter

This poster presents an evaluation of changes over space and time in polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations in several large and small fish. Fish came from many sampling locations in the Upper Hudson River (NY). Fish were sampled before and after removal of PCB-contaminated soil and sediment at the Sherman Island Pool reach of the river.

The results of the analysis have implications for long-term monitoring strategies for fish at PCB-contaminated sites. The poster is intended for risk assessors, field biologists, and research scientists interested in the development and application of monitoring programs for contamination in fish tissues to evaluate effectiveness of remediation.

This poster was presented at the 2007 annual meeting of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry.
