“…However, in the receiving water of the Östrand mill, an elevated content of HCB (3 µg/kg w.w.) was measured, which can be linked to previous operations at a chlor-alkali plant. Compared to other studies from HCB-contaminated areas outside chlor-alkali plants, the levels were not remarkably high (Hinck et al 2009 ; Huertas et al 2016 ).…”

“…A common type of biomonitoring focused on the food chain is measuring bioaccumulation, in which organisms are deployed in or collected from the remediated system and tissue concentrations of the target contaminants are used as a metric of remedial effectiveness (Lazorchak et al, 2003;Wang, 2016). Biomonitoring has been used widely at Superfund sites, including the Industri-Plex and Wells G&H (Massachusetts), New Bedford Harbor (Massachusetts), Brunswick (Georgia), McIntosh Plant (Alabama), Lower Duwamish Waterway (Washington), Manistique River (Michigan), Palos Verdes Shelf (California), and Midnite Mine (Washington) sites, using a range of organisms, such as trees, mussels, spiders, turtles, fishes, and seabirds (Bergen et al, 1993(Bergen et al, , 2005Blanvillain et al, 2007;Clatterbuck et al, 2018;Flett et al, 2021;Gawel & Hemond, 2004;Hinck et al, 2009;Kelley et al, 2011;Kraus et al, 2017;Nelson & Bergen, 2012).…”
