Section H - Anthropogenic Contaminants in the San Francisco Bay Estuary
and Tributaries, California
Section H focuses on the fate of anthropogenic contaminants in the San
Francisco Bay Estuary and tributaries in California. The papers describe
the transport of pesticides from the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers,
California, through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and into the Bay.
In addition, the papers in this section describe the fate of organochlorine
compounds, the results of a survey of molecular marker compounds, and the
distribution and flux of sulfides in the Bay.
