Publications

The Toxic Substances Hydrology (Toxics) Program's technology transfer activities include communication through a variety of publication products. Technical reports, fact sheets, articles in professional journals, books, and other publications are the primary means of documenting and releasing the findings and products of Toxics Program activities.
