2018 Fish Tissue Monitoring Data
Purpose of notice: The Virginia Department of Environmental
Quality (DEQ) announces the availability of the 2018 fish tissue monitoring
data.
Background: The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality
conducts routine studies of fish tissue and sediment samples in state waters to
assess the human health risks for individuals who may consume fish from state
waters and to identify impaired aquatic ecosystems. Results are made available
to the public each year on the agency's website.
In 2018, DEQ collected fish tissue
samples from sites located in the Rappahannock, Potomac, James, Chowan, and
Roanoke River basins. Samples were analyzed for polychlorinated biphenyls and a
suite of 17 metals, including mercury. 2018 monitoring results are available on
the agency's website at http://www.deq.virginia.gov/Programs/
Water/WaterQualityInformationTMDLs/WaterQualityMonitoring/FishTissueMonitoring/FishTissueResults.aspx.
Additional information: The
Virginia Department of Health (VDH) uses the data generated by DEQ's fish
tissue monitoring program to determine the need for fish consumption
advisories. More information on VDH fish consumption advisories is available at
http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/environmental-health/public-health-toxicology/fish-consumption-advisory/.
