As water levels in the Detroit River rise and fall, so do concentrations of toxic legacy pollutants.
New research by University of Windsor environmental science PhD candidate Mona Farhani shows that higher water levels are associated with increased concentrations of bioavailable polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) at some locations — a long-lasting toxic chemical linked to human and ecosystem health risks.
