Organochlorine Contaminants in Aquatic Resources from the Columbia River

The Columbia River Estuary is exposed to a variety of contaminants through municipal and industrial permitted discharges, urban and industrial nonpoint pollution, accidental spills of oil and hazardous materials, agricultural runoff, and accelerated population growth (Schuler 1992). Sediment, aquatic invertebrates, fish, and bird egg samples were collected for this study. Preliminary study results were reported in Schuler (1992). The data were provided as raw laboratory data sheets and hardcopies of summary spreadsheets. The data were entered from the summary spreadsheets that were provided by Carol Schuler of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Schuler 1994).
