Bioaccumulation profiles of chemical contaminants in fish from the lower Willamette River, Portland Harbor superfund site and human health risk assessment

Creator:

Sethajintanin, Doolalai

Abstract:

Concentrations of twenty-five PCBs, fifteen organochiorine pesticides and mercury were determined in recreational fish from the Willamette River, Oregon during the summer of 2000. Thirty-six fish samples of three fish species including black crappie, smalimouth bass and con-rn-ion carp were analyzed. The data reported here provides new information and recent...

Passive sampling devices as biological surrogates for evaluating seasonal bioavailability of hydrophobic organic contaminants in surface water

Creator:

Sethajintanin, Doolalai

Abstract:

The seasonal distribution of bioavailable organochiorine contaminants in surface water and the potential environmental factors influencing their bioavailability were evaluated. The study was carried at the lower Willamette River at Portland Harbor, Oregon where surface water runoff varied according to season. Bioavailable water concentrations of DDTs and PCBs were determined...
