Toxic Chemicals In Puget Sound
Those of us lucky enough to consider ourselves residents of the Puget Sound region rely on the Sound for its exceptional beauty, for recreation of many kinds, and for our economy. But besides the human residents, the fish and wildlife that call Puget Sound home rely on it for clean water and safe food.

On our blog, ToxicsWAtch, we looked into some of the chemical pollutants that have contaminated our fish and wildlife and pose on of the greatest threats to their survival.
