Organic Contaminant Residues in Fishes from Nipigon Bay, Lake Superior
Three species of fish, caught at various distances from a kraft pulp and paper mill effluent discharge in Nipigon Bay, were analyzed for organic contaminants. Fishes from all sites contained residues of polychlorinated biphenyls and DDE. Most samples were also contaminated with hexachlorobenzene and...
