As part of the H2Ohio Rivers program, Ohio is undergoing a statewide survey to measure the existence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances in its large rivers. PFAS, often referred to as "forever chemicals," are manmade compounds used in the production of numerous consumer and ...
A large-scale bottom sediment survey spanning the entire Ohio River was completed to measure concentrations of PCBs and dioxin in sediment and to locate hot spots of contamination, which could lead to identifying sources. High-volume water sampling was also conducted at 11 POTWs (Publicly Owned ...
