Abstract

Over 7 billion pounds of toxic chemicals are released into the air, land, and water of the United States each year, and more than half the U.S. national wildlife refuges are thought to be affected by these contaminants. In response to concerns expressed by the public, Congress, some agencies, and scientists, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) undertook to develop a comprehensive program for the assessment and monitoring of potentially toxic substances on the trust resources¹ for which it is responsible: the Biomonitoring of Environmental Status and Trends Program
