Abstract
As part of a study of the environmental quality of San Francisco Bay, bottom material from 26 streams tributary to the Bay were analyzed for chlordane, DDD, DDE, DDT, and PCB residues. These compounds were present in essentially all streams tested. Chlordane proved to be ubiquitous, with a concentration range similar to that of the other compounds. Noteworthy was the occurrence in one stream of polychlorinated naphthalene residues. Compounds occurring in concentrations above 20 μg/kg were identified in most instances by combined gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
