• Description:
  The Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory (GLERL), with the support of NOAA's Office of Marine Pollution Assessment (OMPA) has initiated a program on the cycling, transport and fate of toxic organic compounds in the Great Lakes. The leakage of synthetic toxic organic compounds into the environment is a recognized critical problem and one which appears to be greater in the Great Lakes than in most regions of the world due to a high population density and a concentration of heavy industry compounded by slow lake flushing rates.
