Abstract:
Data for the sampling survey carried out on 28 and 29 July 1992 are presented. Specific
Red List determinand and broad spectrum GC MS techniques were used to provide
additional information on the range and concentration of organic contaminants in the
River Alt catchment. On the basis of the results from this survey and from routine
monitoring carried out by the NRA, five priority contaminants are recommended for
inclusion in the sources and fates study. Problems with the previously proposed
experimental approach are highlighted and a revised approach involving the use of in situ
mesocosms is described and recommended.
