| Popis: |
The National Contaminant Biomonitoring Program (NCBP) was maintained for two decades by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to document temporal and geographic trends in concentrations of environmental contaminants that may threaten the nation’s fish and wildlife resources. Initiated in 1967 as a component of the National Pesticide Monitoring Program, the NCBP comprised the periodic collections of freshwater fish, European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) and duck wings and the analyses of these samples for persistent environmental contaminants (52). The NCBP provided information on the success of legislative and regulatory actions intended to reduce environmental concentrations of bioaccumulative toxins and on the effects of changing agricultural practices. |
