Sampling locations (Table 1, Figure 2) were chosen to obtain pre-remedial concentrations of MC and BK in the Anacostia River, its tributaries, and Kingman Lake. 3 In addition, Potomac River locations were sampled to provide regional context. Fish were collected in September and October 2018, June through August 2019, June through November 2020, and September through October 2022. <\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "Polychlorinated Biphenyl and Organochlorine Pesticide Concentrations in Whole Body Mummichog and Banded Killifish from the Anacostia River Watershed: 2018-2022 Final Report CBFO-C24-02 Prepared by Alfred E.
