Report

Goals of Chesapeake Bay's Toxics of Concern Workgroup study were to conduct partial life cycle toxicity studies with atrazine for the Sago pondweed (Potamogeton pectinatus), commonly found in Chesapeake Bay. Data will be used for the development of a chronic atrazine criterion for estuarine waters of Chesapeake Bay.
