Spatiotemporal trends in polychlorinated biphenyl concentrations in seafood based on long-term monitoring and remediation in New Bedford Harbor, Massachusetts

2019-06-24

Abstract excerpt

Electrical manufacturing near New Bedford Harbor (NBH), MA in the mid-1900s led to severe polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination, which resulted in the harbor’s designation as a Superfund Site. Restrictions on the harvest of seafood from NBH have been in effect since 1979. Efforts to reduce the overall mass of PCBs in NBH by dredging PCB-contaminated sediments have been ongoing since the late 1980s. One goal...
