  • Distribution of Ddt, Chlordane, and Total Pcb's in Bed Sediments in the Hudson River Basin
    NYES&E, Vol. 3, No. 1, Spring 1997 DISTRIBUTION OF DDT, CHLORDANE, AND TOTAL PCB'S IN BED SEDIMENTS IN THE HUDSON RIVER BASIN Patrick J. Phillips1, Karen Riva-Murray1, Hannah M. Hollister2, and Elizabeth A. Flanary1. 1U.S. Geological Survey, 425 Jordan Road, Troy NY 12180. 2Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Troy NY 12180. Abstract Data from streambed-sediment samples collected from 45 sites in the Hudson River Basin and analyzed for organochlorine compounds indicate that residues of DDT, chlordane, and PCB's can be detected even though use of these compounds has been banned for 10 or more years. Previous studies indicate that DDT and chlordane were widely used in a variety of land use settings in the basin, whereas PCB's were introduced into Hudson and Mohawk Rivers mostly as point discharges at a few locations. Detection limits for DDT and chlordane residues in this study were generally 1 µg/kg, and that for total PCB's was 50 µg/kg. Some form of DDT was detected in more than 60 percent of the samples, and some form of chlordane was found in about 30 percent; PCB's were found in about 33 percent of the samples. Median concentrations for p,p’- DDE (the DDT residue with the highest concentration) were highest in samples from sites representing urban areas (median concentration 5.3 µg/kg) and lower in samples from sites in large watersheds (1.25 µg/kg) and at sites in nonurban watersheds. (Urban watershed were defined as those with a population density of more than 60/km2; nonurban watersheds as those with a population density of less than 60/km2, and large watersheds as those encompassing more than 1,300 km2.

  • Upon Receiving the ADK Chapter Membership Report From
    TRAILMARKER Adirondack Mountain Club Iroquois Chapter Est. 1972 November/December, 2018 Niagara Mt. and Niagara Brook valley Photo credit, Steve Siegard Upon receiving the ADK chapter membership report from headquarters, I noted that the Iroquois Chapter membership is now over 500 individuals, including spouses and children. This ranks us 15th in an organization with 28 chapters totaling 27,600 members. Due to electronic delivery of our newsletter, The Trailmarker, our chapter saves significant amount of money by not using paper and postage. That said, if you are not receiving the newsletter electronically, please make sure that we have your correct e-mail address. Otherwise, please contact Debbie Pasch or me so that the situation can be rectified. I wish to point out that several individuals who do not have internet access receive the paper copy of The Trailmarker. Steve Hunter deserves recognition and our appreciation for taking his time to copy and mail the paper publication. Should those individuals not receive a copy in a timely manner, please notify me, and I will contact Steve. He does need to have a correct mailing address. In any event, I wish to recognize Steve for his service to our chapter. Thank YOU Steve! Several exciting chapter events will take place within the next few months for which I want to make you aware. We have a great speaker for our November meeting; our annual Christmas dinner is Saturday, December 1 (There will be no regular monthly first Tuesday meeting). Our chapter is renting the Weizel cabin at Heart Lake January 11-13, and we are hosting the ADK winter outing at Sandy Creek January 18-20.
