Zebra mussels were collected from 24 sites in the lower Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River and analyzed-for organochlorine, pesticides and PCBs to determine if they (i) accumulated measurable concentrations of the contaminants of concern in the system; (ii) exhibited a wide range of concentrations, thus indicating that they are sensitive to differences in pollution levels; and (iii) reflected the known spatial distributions of contaminants, and corroborated trends indicated by other biomonitors. A further objective was to determine if the method for normalizing contaminant body burdens in the mussels had any significant influence on the concentrations"--Introduction, page 6. |
