Description:Existing data and information are used to estimate potential contaminant concentrations in nearshore waters of the New York Bight. The region of primary interest is the Apex of the Bight within about 30 miles of the New York Harbor entrance. A rationale is provided for considering the implications of particular contaminants (mercury, cadmium, lead, chlorinated pesticides and PCBs, and aromatic hydrocarbons) relative to public health and ecological effects. Estimates of probable "upper bounds" on the environmental concentrations of these toxicants are only factors of two to ten below formal water quality criteria. The combined effects of these toxicants within the Apex are problematical.
