| evidence for dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and -furans in wastewater collection systems in the new york metropolitan area. | polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (pcdd/fs) are persistent organic pollutants targeted by the stockholm convention. both contain aromatic chlorines and are subject to microbial dechlorination. dechlorination of pcbs in sewers in the delaware river basin was recently reported. in this work, two data sets on concentrations of pcbs and pcbs+pcdd/fs in wastewater treatment plant influents and effluents were analyzed to look for evidence that the ... | 2012 | 22568653 |
| source apportionment of polychlorinated biphenyls in the new york/new jersey harbor. | the new york/new jersey harbor (also known as the hudson river estuary) is heavily contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs) arising in part from inputs from the upper hudson river, which is a superfund site containing historical pcb contamination, and also due to inputs from the new york city metropolitan area. the contamination assessment and reduction project (carp) measured pcbs and other contaminants in ambient water samples collected throughout the harbor region during 1998-2001. ... | 2011 | 21421250 |

| contaminants in fish of the hackensack meadowlands, new jersey: size, sex, and seasonal relationships as related to health risks. | the trace metal content and related safety (health risk) of hackensack river fish were assessed within the hackensack meadowlands of new jersey, usa. eight elements were analyzed in the edible portion (i.e., muscle) of species commonly taken by anglers in the area. the white perch collection (morone americana) was large enough (n = 168) to enable statistically significant inferences, but there were too few brown bullheads and carp to reach definite conclusions. of the eight elements analyzed, th ... | 2007 | 17106790 |
