| Abstract |
This report concerns the existence, source and fate of chlorinated and non-chlorinated organic compounds in the Lower Fox River of Wisconsin. Raw and treated wastewaters, surface water, seston, snowmelt, sediment, fish and clams were sampled. A total of 105 compounds were identified and an additional 20 compounds were characterized by GC/MS. Twenty identified compounds are on the U.S. EPA Consent Decree Priority Pollutant List. The study shows PCBs and some other chloro-organics in effluents are reduced by efficient suspended solids removal. It is possible, but not proven, that some chloro-organics are formed by process or effluent chlorination. Clams were found to rapidly bioaccumulate PCBs. Fish fillet samples contained PCB concentrations up to 90 mg/kg. Sediments throughout most of the river were found to be contaminated with PCBs. An extensive bibliography is included. |
