This work was condm in! in lesponse lo data suggesting that chlorinated hy dioiaibons may interfere with reproduction of fish and uildlile resomees Results ol the investigation led to State testiictioiis on use of DDT in 1965. During this time, icsemeh indicated that DPT analyses could be biased through sample contamination with similar compounds, polychlori nated biphenyls (PCICs) (R). To minimize errors in future uoik. both DDT ami TC'ITs were extracted and analyzed to obtain separate values Itoim ID71 through 1975 PCTCs were evaluated in all fish flesh analyses as a part of DDI monitor ing. The tecent concern ovn the impact of PCH's on human health ami their possible died on New York's natural re sources as well as reports of theii ubiquitous nature (6.

The new program promulgated hy the Department of fnviron menial Conservation in August IV7.S revised all existing directions. Specific fish species and desired sizes were do fined (Table I). Stations were located in most large water ways throughout the Stale where I'C'H contamination could occur (higurc I. Table 2) and, when possible, where earlier samples had been taken. Several Adirondack streams were included to ascertain statewide ambient conditions. Where contamination was known to exist sampling was illicitsilted. Ihis was the case ol the Hudson River where imu dinalel) high coneentialions of the contaminant in lish were reported by the U S. Environmental I'rotcetion Agency (J'l'A (16) The objectives ol this program were to determine the level and extent ol I'CH contamination in fish inhabiting or mi grating thiough major waterways in New York State and lo isolate contaminated portions or reaches of waterways, thereby identifying specific areas to he addressed by agen cies which control water pollution.

Laboratories performing analyses are noted in Tables 4 and 5. Recoveries by the analytical techniques cited above arc 85 percent or more. Data were not adjusted to reflect recovery rate. Lath procedure has a sensitivity of 0.01 ppm although two laboratories reported results only as low- as 0.1 ppm. Very limited numbers of fish from Lake Ontario were subjected to mass .spectrometry for confirmation of analytical results. A quality assurance program was implemented to assure that results from the various laboratories were compara ble. Table 6 shows that none of ihe participating labora tories had contamination problems; all reported zero for sample A. At the level of approximately 1 pg/ntl of extract, which corresponds to the action level of 5 ftg/g in fish, precision among the laboratories was remarkably good. No gross bias existed, although the laboratories had standard Aroclor mixtures obtained at difteven! times and one laboratory used Aroclor 1242 lor quantitation instead of Aroclor 1016. Results at higher conceit! rat ions indicate similar agreement. In Table 6, the two sets of results from Griffin Laboratory illustrate the effects of using separate standards to quanti tate the two Aroclor types and of using a mixed standard Although all laboratories used individual standards. Table 6 results indicate basic similarity to results obtained for a mixed standard. Aroelors 1242 and 1254. This is proba bly due to differing gas chromatograph column condi tions, and differing techniques of measuring Ihe various Aroelors. To measure elieek samples such as these the use of individual Aroelors is the most desirable, but lot cn viionmenlal samples which are neatly always inixones. use of mixed standards is analytically faster and probably more accurate. Table 7 supports this contention; some laboratories used mixed standards and some used nidi I't.s t kmi s Moni iokino Juoksai DSW 031656 STLCOPCB4015618 1 AlU.fc 4.

The larger, fatty lake tmen of Lake George contain levels of PCB's (primarily Aroclor 1254) above 5.0 ppm Lake George lake trout are known to have elevated levels of DDT (4). The analytical metbodol ogy used converted only DDT metabolites to dichlnroben zophenone rather than DDT itself. Therefore. PCI! levels in lake trout and other species in Lake George, purtic ului l> ciscos, may be overstated. Further study of the lake is warranted.

Walleye averaged about 1.8 ppm; smallmnutli bass ranged fmui 1,62 to 6.85 ppm. Parlicr data arc consistent for the bass but suggest higher levels in lake sturgeon and catfish, species not sampled in 1975.

These results were expected since the rivers arc located in remote areas of Ihc State away from industrial witters. ONONDAGA LAKE; Station 51 Several species of fish, notably brown bullhead, while perch, smaSlmouth bass, and wallevc. have concentrations of PCU's neui or exceed ing the PDA action level of 5 ppm. The lake has been closed to fishing since 1970 because of mercury pollution. MARI Ms WATERS; Station 55.

Delaware. Black, and Raqucltc) contain fish with low levels of PCB's. Detectable amounts may result from atmospheric fallout, accidental spills, or land fill leachate. Several waterways have PCB's in amounts exceeding the action level ol 5 ppm established hy the Pood and Drug Adminis (ration. Rivers or waterways receiving contributions from indus trialized watersheds contain organisms with high levels ol PCB's. Ilessc (/2), Bremer et al. (.?), and Veith (22) have indicated that levels in fish from tbe Cheat Lakes exceeded 5 ppm and that this level has not declined during the past five years. Information derived during the New York State 1975 study (Table 4) confirms these high concentrations in Lake Ontario. Large, long-lived, or fatty fish such as coho and chinook salmon, brown trout, and lake trout appear to bioaccumulatc PCB's. generally above 5 ppm. A recent study (2) indicates that in salmonids the PCB level is di rectly and proportionally related to the age and oil ol the fish. Pintlings in the present study generally support this premise. The Hudson River below' Hudson Palls contains fish with the highest level of total PCB's oT any waterway' sampled Results above 50 ppm are not uncommon in the larger oilier fish; the highest individual concentration recorded was 559.25 ppm in a large eel. Comparison of the stations above Port Pdward with those immediately below indicates that a substantial PCB load is added to the river. This total loading probably does not emanate from atmospheric fall out or Irom other nondescript sources but rather from a major source of contamination or storage.
