Abstract
An analysis of the existing chemical and physical data on the Androscoggin River obtained from the Offices of the Attorney General of Maine was made with particular consideration of the data for the summer months of 1961. Calculations were made to estimate the bacteriological effects on the river by municipal sewage discharges. The river was found to remain polluted in spite of various control efforts since 1948. Most of the pollution comes from industrial sources, including pulp and paper mills. A bibliography and tables are included.
