| الوصف: | In urban environments such as the New York-New Jersey Harbor Complex, contaminated sediments that fail toxicity test lead to large increases in dredging costs threatening the viability of port operations. Knowledge of what classes of contaminants contribute most to toxicity would aid in management decisions on source reduction and dredging options. In this study, the sources, distribution, composition and concentration of the unresolved complex mixture (UCM) was measured in surface sediments collected from sites within the New York-New Jersey Harbor Complex to test whether the presence of UCM components can be related to the incidence of amphipod toxicity observed. The report shows mixed evidence for a toxicological roles of UCM and petroleum hydrocarbons in affecting benthic deposit feeding organism, but places the issues of UCM bioaccumulation and toxicity into a better context. The report also provides important information about the likely sources this important class of anthropogenic contaminants in the metropolitan NY/NJ Harbor complex, and discusses other effects that high concentrations of UCM may have on sedimentary environments in the system. ; Final report to the Hudson River Foundation on Contract 002/003A. Also produced by the Department of Chemistry and Geochemistry at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachussetts. ; Purpose: To test whether the presence of UCM components can be related to the incidence of amphipod toxicity observed. |
