Summary

Description

EPA Diver Lyn Frandsen places mussels in the Duwamish River to study the bioaccumulation (build-up) of chemicals in organisms in that waterway.

Lab data will then be used to determine the best cleanup levels for pollutants of concern, and potentially for public consumption advisories while cleanup takes place.
