Evaluation of contaminants in water, sediments and fish of the Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge

Description

This study was conducted to more completely characterize the nature, extent and potential impacts of contaminants on aquatic biota of the Wallkill River NWR and to assess the significance of the presence of contaminants to refuge management. The study was designed with three objectives that would assist the refuge manager and, if indicated, help to focus further study. These objectives are: 1 determine the nature and extent of chemical contaminants suspected of being present on the Wallkill River NWR; 2 evaluate the bioavailability and toxic effects of identified contaminants on biota through residue analysis and bioassessment techniques; and, 3 evaluate spatial and temporal trends to determine which, if any, contaminants continue to enter the system.
