Toxicological Evaluation of the Contents of Rocky Mountain Arsenal Waste, Lakes F and F-1.

摘要

The object of this study was to determine the levels of toxicity of the liquids and solids of the Waste Lakes F and F-1. This study was requested following evaluation of reports received that Mallard Ducks died after alighting on Lakes F and F-1 and that rabbits had been found dead along their banks. The study found that the solids of Lake F only moderately toxic, but the solids of Lake F-1 are very toxic to the species tested. Based on these tests, Lake F-1 material would present a hazard to wildlife at least 10 times greater than that of Lake F material.
