Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Water, Sediment, and Snow, from Lakes in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming;Final rept

摘要

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous in the environment and can exist at toxic concentrations in relatively remote and isolated areas. Organic chemical burdens and PAHs from anthropogenic activities in Grand Teton National Park (GRTE), Wyoming, may threaten water and sediment quality. The objective of this study was to identify current PAH concentrations in water, sediment, and snow from lakes in GRTE.
