Subject: Preliminary chemistry results from New BedfordHarbor studies.

From: David Hansen via Walter Berry

To: Charles Bering.

Attached is a summary of all the chemistry data for NewBedford Harbor which we have generated to date.

The data in this report came from 3 different sets ofsamples: 1) single preliminary core samples from 13 sitesin New Bedford Harbor, 2) triplicate analyses of sedimentfrom the 6 sites which we used in our toxicity testing (plusthe reference sediment which we used), and 3) tissue and eggsamples from fish exposed to those sediments. Analyses wereperformed in three ways: 1) selected metals were measuredusing flame atomic absorption, 2) PCBs were measured as Aro-c1 or 1254 by electron capture gas chromotography, 3) PCBswere also measured as chlorine number congeners and totalPCBs by gas chromotography/mass spectrometry (according tothe procedures of EPA EMSL, Cincinnati). Draft chemicalprocedures are available upon request. The values from thetriplicate samples are presented both as individual values(tables 2 and 4) and as means (tables 3 and 5).

The 6C-MS data from the triplicate analyses are alsopresented in two different graphical formats. Figs 2-7 arebar graphs showing PCB composition by chlorine number con-gener of the sediments from each station. The composition.by chlorine number congener, of 7 reference Aroclor mixtures<e. g. Aroclor 1254) are included for comparison (fig-s.8-14). Finally, total PCB and PCB broken down into chiorin*number congeners are plotted vs. statio.n number (figs.15-25). Higher station numbers generally correspond to agreater distance upstream from the hurricane barrier (seefig. 1).

We have also included a proposal for some PAH work. Inaddition we are planning to do chlorine number congener ana-lysis on tissue samples which have already been analyzed ^o^Aroclor 1254 and selected metals.

Table 7. Concentration (ug/g dry weight) of polychlorinated biphenyls

(PCBs) in sediments from New Bedford Harbor. Analysis was performed by

GC/MS. Concentrations are reported by chlorine number congeners, and as

total PCBs. Values are composites of cores from 9 to 13 Ponar dredge

samples from stations 2 to 14 in New Bedford Harbor; one dredge sample

was analyzed from station 1.
