This project involved the collection of water samples and field measurement of several water quality parameters from 10 locations in the vicinity of Hog Island and four locations on Newton Creek (maps attached). Field ...

Most studies on the toxicity of aluminum (Al) to aquatic life have been conducted in acidic waters, due to concerns centered around surface water acidification. Fewer studies have been conducted in waters of neutral ...

The Kennecott Copper Corporation has developed plans for construction of an open pit copper and gold mine immediately adjacent to the Flambeau River near Ladysmith, Wisconsin. The Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife ...

The primary sources of selenium in the environment are geologic and industrial. Selenium closely resembles sulfur chemically, and sulfur or sul­fide deposits of bismuth, copper, iron, lead, mercury, silver, and zinc ...

Antimony (III) chloride is very soluble in water. The Merck Index (9th ed.) reports a solubility of 1 g SbC13 per 10.1 mL of water. This solution undergoes gradual hydrolysis to antimony oxychloride (SbOCl), which is ...

Triorganotin compounds are widely used as industrial biocides, agricultural chemicals, wood preservatives, and marine antifoulants. Although the in vitro fungicidal biological activity of the triorganotins was recognized ...

The primary source of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (2,4,5-TCP) contamination in the environment is industrial effluents. The compound itself is used as a germicide and also as a reagent in the synthesis of certain herbicides, ...

The Lake Superior Research Institute (LSRI) contracted with Blasland, Bouck & Lee, Inc. to evaluate sediment samples from eight sites (three reference and five non­ reference) for toxicity toward two species of benthic ...

A primary threat to Great Lakes sport and commercial fisheries arises from contamination problems due to the introduction of certain xenobiotic chemicals in aquatic environments. Of particular concern are hydrophobic ...
