Abstract
Chemical contamination of freshwaters is a global problem. In the United States alone, millions of kilometers of rivers and hectares of lakes and wetlands are impaired from contamination by chemicals including mercury, pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and trace metals (US Environmental Protection Agency, 2017). Efforts to mitigate the risks of contamination have largely focused on aquatic endpoints. However, these contaminants pose a risk not only to life in freshwater ecosystems but also to the terrestrial organisms that depend on freshwater ecosystems for food.
