Abstract: | Composite samples of fish taken from some of the major tributaries and embayments of Lake Superior and Lake Huron were analyzed for halogenated xenobiotics with the objective of detecting potential environmental problem areas, point source discharges of toxic materials, and previously unrecognized pollutants. The analyses were done by gas chromatographic, methane enhanced, negative ion, mass spectrometry. A variety of halogen-containing organic compounds and pesticides were identified. The highest concentration and variety of compounds were found in the fish from the highly industrialized Saginaw Bay drainage basin; fish from Lake Superior tributaries showed much lower concentrations. |
