Aquatic Disposal Field Investigations Duwamish Waterway Disposal Site Puget Sound, Washington. Appendix B. Role of Disposal of PCB-Contaminated Sediment in the Accumulation of PCB'S by Marine Animals.

This report describes studies concerning the possible transfer to marine animals of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's) as a result of the open-water disposal of PCB-laden dredged material. Dredged material from the Duwamish River in Seattle, Washington, was deposited at an experimental site in n...
