In an effort to quantify toxic contaminants entering Chesapeake Bay, the USEPA Chesapeake Bay Program compiled, as part of its BasinwideReduction Strategy, a Toxics Loading Inventory. The Inventory estiamtes toxic contaminants entering the Bay from major sources (non-tidal fluvial, atmospheric, urban runoffm and point sources) and will be used to calculate a mass balance of contaminant loads to the tidal portion of the Chesapeake Bay. Calculation of a mass balance load requires that the concentration data used to estimate loads from various sources are comparable.
