Abstract

This study is a component of the "Assessment of Environmental Pollution and Community Health in Northwest Florida" supported by a USEPA Cooperative Agreement award X-9745502 to The University of West Florida (Project Director: Dr. K. Ranga Rao). The contents of this report are solely the responsibility of the authors and do not necessarily represent the official views of the USEPA. The study was undertaken because of the increasing concern for environmental pollution and potential impacts on human health in Northwest Florida. It was designed to assess environmental impacts of PCBs and other toxic pollutants in Escambia Bay and River. The KS series of samples was collected by Kristen Anne Smith under supervision of Dr. J. Caffrey. Kristal Walsh managed the spatial databases for the project and drafted the maps. Her assistance has been invaluable. Jeffrey Jackson helped with the fieldwork and Michael Somerville helped with some laboratory procedures.
