After discharge, pollutants are divided among dissolved, 

 inorganic particulate, and organic phases and are subjected 

 to changing in physical, chemical, and biological factors. Shifts 

 in partitioning of pollutants are possible because of changes 

 in equilibrium conditions. These shifts affect the fate and 

 effects of pollutants. Objectives of this project include a direct 

 determination of phase distribution of selected heavy metal 

 pollutants and the changes or alterations that occur as the 

 pollutants are transported through estuaries into nearshore 

 waters of the ocean.

The following summary identifies items submitted to 

 NOAA Environmental Data Service's National Oceanographic 

 Data Center. 



1) Table of average zinc concentration in 15 plank- 

 ton samples (primarily zooplankton). 



2) Plots and tables of mercury concentration in 

 coastal plankton samples from New York Bight 

 to Georgia, and in the area of the Canary Islands. 



3) Plots of mercury concentration in Georgia coastal 

 waters during summer and winter. 



4) Tables of Cd. Cu, Pb, and Zn concentrations in 

 eastern and western North Atlantic plankton 

 samples. 



5) Tables of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn concentrations in 

 fishes, crabs, and shrimp. 



Biological Effects Studies 



The purpose of these studies is to investigate the effects 

 of pollutants on marine organisms and ecological communities. 

 Both laboratory and field experiments are included. Laboratory 

 work is concerned mainly with effects of pollutants on single 



' Pollutant baseline studies; see IDOE Progress Report Volume 

 2, July 1972 to April 1973.
