Summary

This data release includes organic and metals data for biologic samples collected from two studies conducted in the Niagara River Area of Concern (AOC) and the Buffalo River AOC during 2020. The first, Niagara River Forage Fish study assessed contaminant data from 26 fish-tissue samples collected at four locations in or near the Niagara River AOC during 2020, and from two reference material samples. More than 160 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) congeners were analyzed in 21 fish-tissue samples and in one reference material sample. Dioxins and Furans were analyzed in 5 fish-tissue samples and in a second reference material sample. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), organochlorine and other persistent organic pesticides, percent [...]

Purpose

Data were collected to document the (1) concentration of PCBs and Dioxins and Furans in fish collected from four locations in the Niagara River Area of Concern in 2020 and (2) potential accumulation of PCBs and mercury in Lumbriculus variegatus that were exposed to sediments collected from 15 sites in the Buffalo River Area of Concern in 2020.
