Figure 9
Probability of streams having whole-fish concentrations greater than 120 µg/kg, which is the New York criterion for protection of fish-eating wildlife (noncancer effects) from Newell and others (1987).
Whole-fish samples are assumed to have 6.2 percent lipid content (the mean value for all whole fish sampled by the
NCBP and
NAWQA programs combined).
mi, mile;
µg/kg, microgram per kilogram.
