PCB in Eman River ecosystem
Article Abstract:
Remediation of Lake Jarnsjon in Sweden has had a positive impact in the Eman River downstream. A dredging procedure that removed PCB-contaminated sediment from the lake has also reduced the PCB content of the river. A test of the river system's fish in 1996 revealed that their tissue PCB concentration had been reduced to half its previous level just two years after dredging.

PCB in water and sediment of a lake after remediation of contaminated sediment
Article Abstract:
PCB concentrations were monitored for a sampled lake in Sweden after remediation procedures were performed. Although overall PCB levels were lower, seasonal fluctuations were noted. Concentrations varied with temperature, with higher levels occurring in summer. Winter and spring levels were connected with water discharge and resedimented particles.
