摘要

Past and continuing discharges of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have contaminated the natural resources of the Hudson River. The Hudson River Natural Resource Trustees New York State, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the U.S. Department of the Interior are conducting a natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) to assess and restore those natural resources injured by PCBs. The Hudson River supports a rich array of ecological resources that interact in complex ways, and provides habitat for a wide range of plants and animals. As part of the NRDA, the Trustees are documenting exposure of the natural resources of the Hudson River to PCBs. One of the species for which the Hudson River provides habitat, and which has been exposed to PCBs, is the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus). Bald eagles are at risk of accumulating PCBs because they are at the top of the food web. Eagles prey on fish and scavenge carcasses of birds, mink, otter, and other organisms that may contain PCBs. Because much of the eagles diet may contain PCBs, they are at risk of accumulating concentrations that are associated with adverse health impacts. In the 1990s, the Trustees began monitoring Hudson River bald eagle nests for reproductive success. As part of those studies the Trustees collected samples from bald eagles for contaminants analysis. This report addresses bald eagle egg and blood samples collected from New York in 1999-2001 and analyzed by the U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division, Columbia Environmental Research Center in Columbia, Missouri. Specifically this report provides the analytical results for three bald eagle blood samples (all from the Hudson River) and five bald eagle egg samples (including one from the Hudson River from Rogers Island (Columbia County)) which were analyzed for total PCBs and selected congeners, organochlorine pesticides, and non- ortho substituted PCB congeners.
