Abstract

This area is a major repository for the waste products from the New York City conurbation. Interest was focused on those trace metals which are major contaminants, viz. Zn, Cu, Pb, Cr and Ni, and especially those elements considered the greatest direct toxic threat to humans via the marine food chain, Cd and Hg. The raw data assembled included more than 8000 determinations of 16 elements from 1000 stations in the NYB. Where available, additional, relevant data such as grain size, total organic carbon and loss on ignition were also assembled. This report presents the scientific conclusions derived from a consideration of the data.-from US Govt Reports Announcements, 18, 1982
