     The Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency was established in Region V, Chicago, to
focus attention on the significant and complex natural  resource represented
by the Great Lakes.

     GLNPO implements a multi-media environmental  management program drawing
on a wide range of expertise represented by universities, private firms, State,
Federal, and Canadian governmental agencies, and the International Joint
Commission.   The goal of the GLNPO program is to develop programs, practices
and technology necessary for a better understanding of  the Great Lakes Basin
ecosystem and to eliminate or reduce to the maximum extent practicable the
discharge of pollutants into the Great Lakes system.  GLNPO also coordinates
U.S. actions in fulfillment of the Agreement between Canada and the United
States of America on Great Lakes Water Quality of 1978.

Conclusions and Hain Findings



     In 1981, Great Lakes National  Program Office (6LNPO) collected sediments



from the Buffalo area (Figure 1).   During May 5 and 6, sediments were taken



from 93 sites (Appendix A, Table 1  and Appendix A, Figures 1-3).  On September 3



eleven samples were collected at 10 sites (Appendix A, Table 2 and Appendix A,



Figures 1-3).  Appendix A contains  the field notes from both May and September



field work.



     The Buffalo area contained within the survey is a heavily contaminated



area (Figure 1).  Almost all  of the 66 sites (Appendix A, Figures 1-3 and



Tables 1-2) analyzed contained sediments which exceeded USEPA Region V class-



ifications of heavily polluted for  conventional contaminants and/or metals



(Appendix B, Table 1).  Only sites  3 and 91A did not have at least one conven-



tional  contaminant or metal  parameter at a concentration that would qualify



as heavily polluted (Table 1) by EPA's dredging disposal criteria.  Insuffi-



cient benthic living organisms were found in any of the sediments collected



to permit analysis for contaminants.



     The organic, inorganic,  and conventional pollutants identified in this



study were categorized to ease the  data analysis.  The sites that emerge having



at least four or more categories of contaminants at the highest levels were



site 12 (8 categories), site  58 (4  categories), and site 72 (4 categories)



(Table 1).  Appendix C contains the analytical  results.  Appendix D contains



a nap of the site locations  of heaviest contamination.  Site 12 was sampled



during both survey runs (total of  four times),  a contributing factor to its



apparent high degree of contamination.  There are fourteen sites for which pol-



lutants belonging to three or more  different categories were identified, and



for which these pollutants were quantified at levels sufficiently high to



classify the sites as "heavily polluted."

     Organic substances in the Buffalo area sediments, "identified" and



 "quantified" by GC/MS to have concentrations of 5 ppm or greater, contained



 nine potential or positive carcinogens and eight substances having a potential



 for chronic aquatic toxicity.  The carcinogenic toxicants, and the numbers of



 sites at which they were found, are as follows:  anthracene (19), benzo(a)an-



 thracene (34), benzo(a)pyrene (12), chlorotoluene (1), fluoranthene (28),



 fluorene (1), phenanthrene (2), pyrene (20), and tetrachlorobenzene (1).   The



 aquatic toxicants, and site numbers at which they were found,  are as follows:



 acenapthene (2), p-tert-butyl phenol  (1), chlorobenzene (1), chloronaphtha-



 lene (1), di-n-butylphthalate (3), dichlorobenzene (5), pentachloroben-



 zene (1), and trichlorobenzene [1,2,4] (1).  The sites where these compounds



 were found can be identified by referring to Appendix E.



     It should be remembered that GC  retention time,  even  with capillary



 columns, is not a confirmation of compound identity.   Analysis by at least



 semi-quantitive (order-of-maqnitude)  GC/MS is required for confirmation.   If



 GC/EC and GC/MS quantifications do not compare in the Pesticide/PCB deter-



 minations, the more sensitive dual column GC/EC data  is used.



     Further study of this area is continuing in support of remedial  efforts.



 The Niagara River Toxics Committee is exchanging information on the United



 States and Canadian remedial  program  and  need for further  environmental studies.



The membership of this committee is drawn from the United  States and Canada.



The members include representatives from  United States Environmental  Protection



Agency, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, the Ontario



Ministry Of Environment, and  Environment  Canada.

Introduction



     This sediment survey is one in a series of Great Lakes National  Program



Office studies designed to define the environmental  state  of the harbors  and



rivers on the Great Lakes.  The scope of this report consists of evaluating



the available data from the Buffalo, New York area (Figures 1,  Appendix A -.



Figures 1-3 and Tables 1 and 2) and primarily focuses on the extent of toxicant



contamination in the subject area (Appendix C- Analytical  Results).  Appendix  A



contains the field notes associated with all sites visited.  The report does



not consider Buffalo area water quality since the water solubility of the



toxicants, both organic and metallic, is low.  Nor are the Buffalo area



pollutional effects upon the Niagara River and Lake Ontario considered.



Recent improvements in analytical techniques now make it possible to detect



some chemical substances at very low levels, well below the levels at which



the substances might cause harmful environmental effects.   Due to the paucity



of known environmental effects, sites are evaluated in this report with  respect



to elevated levels of measured substances within the area.  Thus, because a



site is identified as containing elevated contaminant levels, it is not  neces-



sarily a hazardous site, although it becomes a site of concern requiring  fur-



ther evaluation.





Background -  Historical Data Collection Activities in the Buffalo Area





     Early sediment sampling of Buffalo Harbor and the Black Rock Canal  was



conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) in 1967, 1969,



1970, and 1972.  Sediment analyses were conducted in 1967 and 1969 for volatile



solids, chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen, and oil and grease. In 1970,



tests were conducted for mercury.  According to the 1972 USEPA Report, all



sediments tested through 1969 were grossly polluted.  In 1972, USEPA tested



                                     -7-

-------
for the same parameters previously listed and conducted additional  analyses
for lead and zinc.  Tests were performed at 11 stations throughout  the Federal
channels.  The conclusion reached by USEPA for the 1972 sediments was that
they were still grossly polluted although levels of pollution had decreased
since 1970 (Bennett 1982).
     Other organizations have conducted studies in the Buffalo area.   A
brief summary of published results are given.
     Canada-Ontario Review Board has published two reports which focus on water
quality problems resulting from inadequate control of toxic substances as evi-
denced by their presence in the Niagara River and Lake Ontario [Canada-Ontario
Review Board (1980,1981)].  All bottom sediment samples from the lower Niagara
River had concentrations of total PCBs exceeding the 50 ppb MOE criteria for
confined disposal of dredged spoils (Canada-Ontario Review Board 1981).
     The Canadian Centre for Inland Waters has sampled bottom sediment for the
upper and lower Niagara River for metals and toxic organic contaminants (Kuntz
1981, in press).  The 1979 and 1981 bottom sediment samples are reported on.
From these data, the Buffalo River, The Black Rock Canal or Scajaquada Creek,
Two Mile Creek, Ellicot Creek (or the Erie Canal) and the Love Canal  area are
or have been sources of many of these contaminants to the Niagara River.  Most
of the areas of concern mentioned above contain sediments which exceed the MOE
dredge spoil  criteria for disposal of these sediments.  These sediments all
fall  into the USEPA Region V classification of heavily polluted sediments for
most  of these contaminant parameters.  Therefore, disposal of these dredge
spoils must be contained and not dumped into Lake Erie.
     Work directed toward determining the fate of organic chemicals in the
Niagara River and the Buffalo River has been reported on.

-------
     Water and sediment samples were taken from sites adjacent to hazardous
waste disposal areas in Niagara Falls, New York.  The samples were analyzed by
GC/MS.  The following compounds were identified: chlorobenzenes,
chlorotoluenes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon derivatives, PCBs, trichloro-
phenol and other phenols, benzyltrifluorides, mirex, and phenothiazine.   A
large number of benzyl derivatives and a few unusual fluorinated compounds were
also found; they were probably waste byproducts of the industrial chemical
production of benzyl chloride and chloro(trifluoromethyl)benzene, respectively.
The hazardous waste disposal  sites were the major sources for most of the
compounds which were found.  The biological and environmental fates of these
compounds were not evaluated  (Elder, et^ ^1_ 1981).
     Three sediment samples taken from the Buffalo River and two soil samples
taken near its bank have been analyzed for 2-propanol-extractable, basic
organic compounds by using GC/MS.  Eleven aromatic amines related to the
commercial production of malachite green and crystal violet were identified in
both the sediment and soil samples.  Apparently a dye manufacturing plant used
this part of the river bank as a dump, and several of its waste chemicals
were leached into the river.   It is possible that the compounds reported here
are, at least partially, responsible for tumors observed in fish taken from
this river (Nelson and Hites  1980).
     The US Army Corps of Engineers surveyed the Buffalo area in 1981.  Signifi-
cant organic contamination of the Buffalo River, Buffalo River Harbor, and
Black Rock Channel sediment quality was found.  Confinement of the dredge
sediments from these Federal  navigation channels should be continued as an
alternative to open lake disposal (Pethybridge 1981).

-------
Methodology
     The site locations were designed by determining and plotting on a large
scale map the location of sewage treatment plant discharges,  combined sewer
discharges (particularly those carrying industrial  waste), industrial dis-
charges and any other feature that might result in  contaminated sediments.
To this was added any data on sedimentation patterns that may exist from
dredging records, and existing data on sediment quality.  This information
was used to identify locations where contaminated sediments were most likely
to exist.
     Two categories -of sampling sites were selected.  Primary sites were sites
that were most likely to be contaminated and all primary sites samples were
to be scanned and run for specific compounds which  are known  to be used in the
area or have been found in fish from the area.   Secondary sites are sites which
will be run if the primary sites indicate a significant problem exists and will
be used to define the extent of the problem.  Secondary samples would only be
analyzed for the specific compounds indicated as problems at  primary sites.
Compounds for specific analysis at primary sites will  be selected based on data
from fish and from data on industrial and agricultural usage  in the area.
     Due to laboratory resource constraints not all  primary sites could be
analyzed.  Based upon field records, quantity of sediments, benthos, and poten-
tial sources, those sites which appeared to be  the  "worst" were selected for
analysis.  Samples from the remaining sites were logged, preserved, and stored
for future analysis should additional data be required.
     Sediment samples were collected in the manner  described  in the Methods
Manual  for Bottom Sediment Sample collection (USEPA 1977).  Grab samples were
retrieved in May using a Ponar (clam shell) dredge  for both the chemistry and
benthos analysis.  Core samples were taken in September using a Wildco brass
                                     -10-

-------
core tube 20" long with a 2" inner diameter and clear lexon  plastic  liner  tube.
For the benthos analysis, the sediment samples  were strained through a  80  mesh
sieve (U.S. Standard) and any invertebrates were picked off  the sieve with a
tweezer, transferred to a sample jar and preserved with 70 percent ethanol.
The sediments for chemistry analysis were preserved by refrigeration to 4°C.
     Prior to non-volatile organic analysis, the sediment  samples were  allowed
to thaw to 15-2S°C.  Each sample was manually mixed and allowed to air  dry.
All samples were ground with a mortar and pestle.   Any sample requiring further
honogenization (discretion of analyst) was then passed through a 20  mesh
polypropylene sieve.  The percent solids of the sample was determined on a
separate aliquot dried at 103-105°C.
     The presence of a broad range of volatile  and semi-volatile organic
contaminants, (see Appendix C, Tables 1  and 2 respectively)  was determined by
subjecting the sediments to GC/MS scans.  The semi-volatile  orqanics were
removed from the sediments by Soxhlet extraction with a 1:1  mixture  of  acetone
and hexane.  A portion of the extract was passed through Florisil column
chromatography.  The extract from the first chromatographic  fraction was then
passed through silica gel to further separate the PCBs from  the pesticides.
The fractions were analyzed by dual  column GC/EC.   Volatile  organic  analysis
was done on wet sediment diluted with organic free water.  Concentration is
later corrected for percent solids and reported on a dry weight basis.   The
sediment and dilution water was purged with helium and the volatile  organics
were trapped on Tenax.  The trap was desorbed onto the GC  column of  a Hewlett-
Packard 5985 GC/MS.  Organic contaminants quantitatively identified  on  the
GC/EC scans were confirmed using GC/MS.   All GC/MS scans and specific GC
analyses followed USEPA standard procedures for dealing with priority pollu-
tants.  (Methods 608, 624, 625 Federal Register 1979).
                                      -11-

-------
     Quantification of PCBs and pesticides (Appendix C -  Table 3)  was  deter-
mined by subjecting the sediment extracts to gas  chromatoqraphy with electron
capture detector (GC/EC).  Samples were air dried and sieved.   Organic components
were removed from 20 grans of sample using Soxhlet extraction  of 16 hours  with
a solvent consisting of a 1:1 acetone/hexane (V:V) mixture.  The extract was
concentrated and partitioned through Florisil  for the elimination  of interferences
and separation of various pesticide mixtures.   Further separation  of PCBs  from
pesticide components was done with silica gel.   Quantitative determination
and confirmation was done using dual column GC/EC on the  extracts. The GC/EC
extracts were also analyzed by GC/MS for additional  confirmation.
     All quantification of pesticides/PCBs is  by  the dual  column method.   This
requires that the chromatographic peak for the  compound in question appears on
both columns at the appropriate retention times.   Quantitation for pesticides
is by the internal standard method using p, p'- DDT for the "D" fraction and
Mi rex for the "F" fraction (Appendix F), while  the external  standard method
using actual Aroclors is used for PCB quantisation.   The  internal  standard
method requires that the peak area for each routinely determined pesticide be
compared to the peak area of one compound (the  internal standard)  to obtain
ratios (relative response factors) which can be used to quantitate the amounts
of pesticides present in samples.  A known amount of this internal standard is
then added to each sample.  This procedure minimizes variations in detection
response and sample handling technique.  Relative response factors for all
routinely determined pesticides and Aroclors are  recalculated  for each new
batch of samples by the use of actual reference compounds which are available
in the laboratory.
     Quantitation by GC/MS depends on whether  a definite  compound  assignment,
or only a tentative or unknown assignment, can  be made.  Definite  compound
                                      -12-

-------
assignments are reported only when  the retention  time  data  and mass  spectral
data indicate that the compound is  present,  and when an  authentic  reference
compound is available for comparison  purposes.  Quantitation  is  by the  internal
standard method using D-10 phenanthrene.   Relative  response factors  are
determined for each new batch of samples  using the  actual reference  compounds
which are available in the laboratory. Actual reference compounds are  availa-
ble for all priority pollutants, as well  as  for many other  commonly  found
chemicals.
     Tentative compound assignments are reported  when  there are  significant
spectral matches between the mass spectrum of the compound  searched  and the
reference spectrum in the computer  library.   The  similarity index  computation
is part of the software of the Hewlett Packard computer  library  search  program.
A manual review is also made of all library searches to  assure that  the library
results are sufficient for the tentative  identifications.   However,  further
confirmation is not possible because  an authentic reference compound is not
available.  It is therefore not possible  to quantify how sure the  identifica-
tion is.  In addition, the estimated  concentrations of these  tentatively
identified compounds are qualitative  since the  authentic compounds are  not
available from which to obtain the response factors necessary for  internal
standard quantitation.
     Unknown compound assignments are reported when there  are no credible
spectral matches between the spectra  under consideration and  the entire com-
puterized spectral  library.  Only estimates of  concentration  are possible  since
the response factor necessary for quantitation  are not known.
     Heavy metals were determined by  first digesting the sediment  samples  in a
mixture of hot concentrated acids.  (The  specific mixture depends  upon  the
analyte.) The acid extracts were analyzed for mercury  using an  automated

                                      -13-

cold-vapor atomic absorbtion technique.  Arsenic and selenium were determined
using the hydride generation method.  In addition,  a scan for over 20 metals
was made using Inductively Coupled Arqon Plasma (ICAP)  techniques  (Appendix C-
Table 4).
     The following seven determinations of conventional pollutants were  run on
all sediments.  Appendix C-Table 5 contains the results of these determinations.

Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD).
     COD was determined based on a silver sulfate catalyzed reaction  with
potassium dichromate.  A homogenized, acidified wet sediment sample was  mixed
with a potassium dichromate solution containing silver  sulfate,  sulfuric acid
and mercuric oxide.  The mixture was refluxed for 2 hours and then analyzed
using an automated spectrophotometric method based  upon the determination  of
the concentration of Cr+3 which is proportional to  the  COD.

Cyanide.
     Cyanide is converted to HCN by means of a reflux-distillation catalyzed
by copper chloride which decomposes metallic cyanide complexes.  The  HCN gas
that is produced is then absorbed in a NaOH solution which is then analyzed
using the automated pyridine-barbituric acid spectrophotometric  method.
Cyanide concentrations are reported as mg CN~/kg dry sediment.
     Water samples are analyzed using similar procedures outlined  in  IISEPA
1979b.  Concentrations are given as mg/1.

Phenol.
     Manual distillation of phenolic compounds was  used to remove  interferences.
The distillate was then analyzed  using an automated spectrophotometric  method
based upon the buffered ferricyanide-catalyzed reaction of phenol  with
4-aminoantipyrene.  Phenol concentrations in the sediment are reported as  mg/kg

Total Phosphorus and Total Kjeldahl  Nitrogen

     For total phosphorus and total  Kjeldahl nitrogen analysis, samples were

digested at 370° in a block diqestor using a Hq-catalyzed I^SCty/I^Stty digest-

ing solution.  The digestion converted organic nitrogen and phosphorus com-

pounds to ammonia and orthophosphate, respectively.  The digested samples

were then analyzed for NH3 and P04 using an automated spectrophotometric

method.  The NH3 determination was based upon the nitroprusside-catalyzed

indophenol blue reaction.  The P04 determination was based upon the ascorbic

acid-reduced molybdenum blue heteropoly reaction.

     Waters were analyzed according  to USEPA 1979b using the Technical AA II

system.  Results are in mg/1 Phosphorus.


% Solids.

     A known weight of homogenized,  moist sediment was dried at 105°C.  The

total solids are calculated as:

          % Solids  =  dry weight g      x  (100%)
                       wet weight q


Volatile Sol ids.

     Volatile Solids were determined by igniting the dried residue from the

total solids determination at 550°C  for one hour.  The weight loss on ignition

is used to calculate % volatile solids.  Volatile solids were expressed as a

percentage of the total  solids in the sample.

     All metals and organic contaminants were reported as milligrams per kilo-

gram (ppm) dry weight.   Quality assurance procedures set variance limits for

reference samples, sample splits, and spike samples.  Any results obtained

The method selected resulted in nine categori

of organic contaminants and two categories of
ding metals.
     The latter two categories have been used

                                      -16-

-------
     In addition to these conventional  or metal  pollutants,  all  sites  had
measurable levels of organic contaminants for which no sediment  guidelines
have been established regarding their hazard potential.   There  is  a  presumption
of health concerns regarding the presence of some organic compounds  in sediments.
Correlations between sediment concentrations of  polycyclic aromatic  hydrocarbons
(PAHs), the incidence of neoplasms in bottom dwelling fish,  and  induction  of
neoplasms in a bottom feeding fish species, brown bullhead (Ictalurus
nebulosus). by direct exposure to extracts of polluted river sediments supports
the hypothesis that some fish neoplasms result from exposure to carcinogenic
chemicals present in the fish's environments (Black 1982).
     To select sites where the highest levels of organic contaminants  were
found, across broad categories of organics, the following approach was arbitrari
selected.  To reduce the number of organic compounds to a manageable size an
arbritrary  level of 5 ppm was selected (Appendix F).  Compounds which  exceeded
5.0 ppm at  least one sample  site were grouped into nine categories: (1) Alcohols
Organic Acids,  Ethers, and  Esters, (2) Chlorinated Alipahtic and Aromatic Hydro-
carbons,  (3) Aldehydes and  Ketones,  (4) Naphthalenes and  Polycyclic Aromatic
Hydrocarbons  (PAH),  (5)  Nitro and Amino Aromatic Hydrocarbons,  (6) PCBs
and pesticides,  (7) unsubstituted Aliphatic and Aromatic  Hydrocarbons, (8)
Phenols,  (9)  Polyalicyclic  Hydrocarbons.   Of these categories,  seven categories
 (1-7)  emerged with  at  least one organic compound that equalled  or exceeded  50
ppm.   Only  the  Phenol  category and the Polyalicyclic Hydrocarbons category
failed to include  compounds equalling  or  exceeding 50 ppm at at least  one
sample site.
      Agreement  between parallel  analyses  by  GC/EC  and GC/MS  is  uneven.  The
 sample shown  by GC/EC  to be most  heavily  laden  with  PCBs (NS01S99)  gave a
 very  weak response in  the GC/MS  test.  The sample  shown  by  GC/EC  to be most

-------
contaminated by Mi rex (NS02S11) qave no noticeable response to GC/MS.  This
kind of discrepancy is also seen with di-n-butyl  phthalate, DDT,  and zytron.
These results are not unexpected.
     The electron capture detector, used in the gas chromatographic  analysis
of pesticides and PCBs, is very sensitive to halogen containing organic  com-
pounds.  It is 10-100 times more sensitive than the mass  spectral source of
the GC/MS which is why it is the preferred method for the quantitative deter-
mination of pesticides and PCBs.  GC/MS confirmation of GC/EC  results can
only occur if the pesticide or PCB level in the extract is equal  to  or greater
than the detection limit of the mass spectral source.  The detection limit for
a particular compound will vary from sample to sample since other compounds
in the sample being studied can interfere or mask the spectrum of interest
(matrix effect).  Appendix F, Table 3, gives organic compounds sought and
representative detection limits.
     The presence of Mi rex (NSniS89, NS02S11), Zytron (NS01SOO),  three
Aroclors (NS01S99) and four pesticides (NS03S66)  were reverified  from the
GC/EC data.  The fiC/MS did not confirm the presence of these compounds either
through manual search or multiple ion monitoring  indicating that  their level
was below the M.S. detection limit.  The presence of Mirex in  sample NS01S78
was also reverified from the GC/EC data.  However, although the Quantid
Program indicated the possible presence of Mirex, no mass spectral proof was
obtained.
     The presence of di-n-butylphthalate in sample NS03S66 appears to be due to
laboratory contamination.  Butylphthalate was not found in the duplicate
NS03D66, nor was evidence found by GC/MS for the  presence of this compound.
Because di-n-butylphthalate is not a pesticide or PCB, GC/EC determinations
require much more laboratory manipulation than GC/MS work, and thus  are  more

                                      -18-

-------
 susceptible to  laboratory contamination, the quantisation of di-n-butylphthalate
 done  by  GC/MS is used for the determination of all other phthalates.  The GO/EC
 data  are reported for completeness.  Di-n-butylphthalate was added to the
 GC/EC spike mixture to assure that its presence did not interfere with the
 determination of other pesticides and PCBs.
      The choice of 5.0 ppm as a "cut off" concentration level for further
 consideration of organic substances was based upon a cursory inspection of
 the data followed by a crude statistical interpretation of observations made.
 The first observation was that the polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) appeared
 to be the most we 11-represented group, in terms of the number of different
 compounds.  They also represented the typical concentration levels of all of
 the compounds found.  It also appeared that roughly 5.0 ppm might represent
 an approximate median level for many of the PAHs.  The exact medians of the
 following PAHs test the validity of assuming 5.0 ppm as an median value:
           Anthracene/Phenanthrene                  2.3  ppm
           Pyrene                                   5.35 ppm
           Benzo(a)Anthracene/Chrysene             11.25 ppm
           Fluorene                   '              0.85 ppm
           Fluoranthene                             5.6  ppm
The "cut off" value of 5.0 ppm was selected for other categories because  it
was felt that any compound was worthy of consideration if detected at levels
exceeding the apparent median value of compounds in the largest chemical
 grouping, i.e. the PAHs.
     The sediment sites of concern were selected on the basis of a 50.0 ppm
 limit.  This value was felt to approximate the 90th percentile of many of the
PAHs.   Any compound analysis exceeding this assumed 90th percentile for PAH
was deemed sufficient justification for labeling the corresponding sample site
a "worst" site with respect to that particular compound's chemical grouping.
The actual 90th  percenti les for the following PAHs test the validity of the
50 ppm assumption:
                                       -19-

-------
          Anthracene/Phenanthrene               10.6  ppm
          Pyrene                                20.0  ppm
          Benzo(a)Anthracene/Chrysene           52.5  ppm
          Benzo(a)Pyrene                        89.0  ppm
          Fluoranthene                          19.0  ppm

The use of the 50 ppm concentration provided a crude prioritization amongst

the sites analyzed for toxicant contamination.  Table 1 contains the sites

where at least one organic compound in the categories 1-7 was found to exceed

50 ppm.  It  should be emphasized that the contaminant levels selected, in

order to characterize the sediments with respect to their organic contaminants,

are completely arbitrary.  At this time not enough is known about the health

significance of these contaminants or enough about the mechanism of their re-

lease or bioavailability from sediments.  The emergence of a particular compound

which may be toxic or carcenoqenic at concentration levels lower than the 50

ppm selected would have a profound effect on the crude priority scheme developed

here.

     Additional analysis was done at USEPA's Environmental Research Laboratory

in Duluth (ERL-D), Minnesota, for Buffalo River sediment samples (see credits).

     The mass spectrometry group at ERL-D examined Buffalo River sediments for

unusual observations, i.e., very high levels of a specific chemical or the

identification of chemicals not routinely observed in environmental samples.

These analyses were done by capillary column electron capture gas chromato-

graphy using a 60m x 0.25 mm SE-54 fused quartz column with hydrogen as a

carrier gas to optimize resolution.

     The analysis of planar molecules follows the methods reported in "Analysis

of Molecules in Planar Conformation  in Great Lakes Fish" (Kuehl, Butterworth

and Durhan, 1982).  Briefly, the sample (50g sediment) is soxhlet extracted

with 500 nil  hexane/Ch^Clg (1:1) or hexane/acetone (1:1), respectively,  for

24 hours.   The samples are then reduced in  volume to 5 ml  and chromatographed

-------
on a sulfuric acid (Baker ultra high  purity)/celite 545 column  coupled  to  a



l.Og column of cesium silicate by eluting with  200 ml  hexane.   This  procedure



oxidizes hioloqical  molecules and removes polar chemicals.   The sample  is



aqain reduced in volume to 5 ml and adsorbed  on a  column of  50  mg  amoco PX-21



carbon on glass fibers (1 cm x 4 cm).   This column is  washed with  50 ml  CH2C12



to remove non-planar chemicals.  Planar molecules  are  removed initially by



washing with 50 ml CHgC^/Benzene (1:1, FRA #1), which contains predominantly



planar PCBs.  Planar molecules more tightly bound  to the carbon are  removed  by



washing with 50 ml toluene in the reverse direction.   The toluene  fraction is



then fractionated on basic alumina into two fractions, one containing chloro-



naphthalenes (FRA #2) and a second containing chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins,



and dibenzofurans (FRA #3).  Blanks,  recovery studies, and surrogate spikes



were used to assure a detection limit  of 10 ppt based  upon 1,2,3,4-TCDD.



     The 50g sediment sample was a composite  of Buffalo River sediment  NS01S55,



NS01S79, and NS03S66 (1:1:1).  The sediment samples were very complex.   First,



the three fractions were dominated by  dichloro- through hexachlorobenzenes,



dichloro- through heptachloronapthalenas, and trichloro- through octachloro-



dibenzofurans.  No PCDDs were observed.  A series  of halogenated planar



molecules not previously identified in environmental samples have  been  tenta-



tively identified.  Their identification is based  upon chromatographic  elution



patterns and nass spectral data.   Authentic standards  are not available to



verify identifications.  A summary of  all the non-PCB  planar chlorocarbons



identified are shown in Table 2.   The  range of  concentrations for  all chemicals



except chlorobenzenes are 10-500 ppt.



     In addition, an attempt to isolate and identify at least one  of the color



dyes in one of the sediment samples was made.  Sample  NS03S66,  identified  as

Buffalo Color, was soxhlet extracted with acetone.  The extract was concen-
trated to a volume of 1 ml and transferred to a lOg column of silica gel.
The volume was eluted with 100 rnl hexane, 100 ml benzene, 100 ml methylene
chloride and 100 ml acetone.  A very complex series of shades of red, blue,
yello, green and purple color bands were eluted from the column; however, a
single very tight band of royal blue remained stationary at the top of the
column.  The colored compound/silica gel mixture was transferred to a beaker.
The color was washed from the silica gel with hot water and back extracted
into CH2C12-  Attempts to GC the sample were unsuccessful as expected.
     As a result of the identification of a series of polychlorinated planar
molecules similar in structure to chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins in sediment
samples of the Buffalo River, New York, further work was done at ERL-D.   One
of the molecules of particular interest was tentatively identified as a
tetrachloro-9H-Carbazole (TCC).  TCC was found at higher concentrations  than
tetrachlorodibenzofurans (TCDF), and could possibly be more toxic than TCOF.
Levels of TCDFs in these samples were estimated to be 100-500 ppt.  These
values were estimated by assuming that the relative response of the molecular
ion of TCDF is equal  to the response of TCDD.  No TCDF standards are available
at ERL-D.
     Bioassays were run after syntheses and quantification of TCC were done at
ERL-D.  Two groups (30 day old and 3 day old) of 10 fathead minnows each were
exposed for 10 days to 2 liters of sterilized water saturated with 1,3,6,8-TCC.
No deaths  were observed during this  tine.   Therefore,  TCC does not appear to be
an acutely toxic chemical; however,  it is  predicted to be highly bioacccumu-
lative.
     Sediment sample  NS03S66 from the Buffalo River, New York was analyzed for
Mirex using high resolution gas chromatography with electron capture detection.
                                       -23-

-------
Mi rex was not detected in the sediment sample.   Procedural  detection limits



were calculated at 5 ppb in the sediment sample.



     A sample bank and a 100 ppb spike sample were carried  through the entire



analysis with sediment samples.  No Mi rex was present in  the blank above



stated detection limits.  Recovery of Mi rex from the spike  samples was 102%.



     The sediment samples contained heavy amounts of a large number of



compounds including a large peak with retention time of 49.00 minutes which



could easily be mistaken for Mirex.  The mean retention time of Mirex was



48.88 min (n = 13; SD = 0.01); maximum absolute deviation from the mean value



was _+ 0.02 min.  Chromatograms are shown in Figure 2.



     Table 3 provides statistical information using PCBs, pesticides, and  con-



ventional pollutants concentrations from the CRL data set.   This table provides



an approximate distribution of the values obtained for these compounds.



     There is only one PCB and pesticide parameter with observations greater



than 50 ppm.   If a lower concentration was determined to be significant, then



more sites would be identified as "worst" for the PCS and pesticide categories.



Parameters which nay be significant at lower levels have been suggested



(Kizlauskas 1982).  The parameters and their concentrations are as follows:



Total PCBs >5 ppm; total DDT >1 ppm; hexachlorobenzene >0.1 ppm; and Mirex



>.2 ppm; while one is at a higher level:  mercury >2 ppm.  The sites, where



these PCB and pesticide parameters concentrations are exceeded, are as follows:



PCBs (32, 72, 73, 82); DDT (12, 32, 73, 82); hexachlorobenzene (12, 72, 73);



and Mirex (21, 92).  The slightly higher mercury concentration level did not



alter the evaluation of heavily polluted sites  for the metal category. The



pattern suggested by raising or lowering criteria concentration levels for a



particular category may be valid.  That is, more sites will be included if
                                       -24-

levels are lowered.  Fewer sites will  be included if levels are raised.   Minor



adjustments in levels will  not have an effect.



     A brief analysis of production method and  compound uses has been under-



taken on compounds found in the 1981  Buffalo Sediment Survey (Appendix 6).



     Production methods that account for most of the compounds  found are involved



in dye and solvent manufacturing and coal  combustion.

Guidelines for the Pollutional  Classification



       of Great Lakes Harbor Sediments

-------
                      U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
                                    REGION V
                               CHICAGO,  ILLINOIS
                                   APRIL 1977
GUIDELINES FOR THE POLLUTIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF GREAT LAKES HARBOR SEDIMENTS

     Guidelines for the evaluation of Great Lakes harbor sediments, based on
bulk sediment analysis, have been developed by Region V of the U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agency.   These guidelines, developed under the pressure of
the need to make immediate decisions regarding the disposal  of dredged material,
have not been adequately related to the impact of the sediments on the Lakes
and are considered interim guidelines until more scientifically sound guide-
lines are developed.

     The guidelines are based on the following facts and assumptions:

     1.   Sediments that have been severely altered by the activities of man
          are most likely to have adverse environmental impacts.

     2.   The variability of the sampling and analytical techniques is such
          that the assessment of any sample must be based on all factors and
          not on any  single parameter with the exception of mercury and
          polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

     3.   Due to the  documented bioaccumulation of mercury and PCBs, rigid
          limitations are used which override all other considerations.

     Sediments are classified as heavily polluted, moderately polluted, or
nonpolluted by evaluating each parameter measured against the scales shown
below.  The overall classification of the sample is based on the most pre-
dominant classification of the individual parameters.  Additional  factors,
such as elutriate test results, source of contamination, particle size distri-
bution, benthic macroinvertebrate populations, color, and odor are also
considered.  These factors are interrelated in a complex manner and their in-
terpretation is necessarily somewhat subjective.

                                    Table 1

     The following ranges used to classify sediments from Great Lakes harbors
are based on compilations of data from over 100 different harbors since 1967.

Lakes harbors have been developed to the point where they are usable but are
still subject to modification by the addition of new data.  These ranges are
based on 260 samples from 34 harbors sampled during 1974 and 1975.

*  Lower limits not established

     The guidelines stated below for mercury and PCBs are based upon the best
available information and are subject to revision as new information becomes
available.
     Methylation of mercury at levels H mg/kg has been documented (1, 2).
Methyl mercury is directly available for bioaccumulation in the food chain.

     Elevated PCB levels in large fish have been found in all of the Great
Lakes,  the accumulation pathways are not well understood.  However,
bioaccumulation of PCBs at levels >10 mg/kg in fathead minnows has been
documented (3).

     Because of the known bioaccumulation of these toxic compounds, a rigid
limitation is used.  If the guidelines values are exceeded, the sediments are
classified as polluted and unacceptable for open lake disposal no matter what
the other data indicate.

                                               POLLUTED

          Total PCBs                     XLO mg/kg dry weight

     The pollutional classification of sediments with total PCB concentrations
between 1.0 mg/kg and 10.0 mg/kg dry weight will be determined on a case-by-
case basis.

 Based on USEPA Method  624  [Federal Reqister 1979]

 Wet  samples  are purged with helium for  4
 minutes arid the orqanics are trapped on a
 Tenax trap.   The  trap  is desorbed  onto  the
 GC  column  for analysis.  Compounds are  quan-
 tified using  standards when available,  or
 are  estimated aqainst the  response of the
 internal standard 2-bromo-l-chloropropane.

 Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Soils and
 Bottom Sediments, CRL Method No. PES1262-84,
 17119-17125"  Based on USEPA Method 608
 [Federal Reqister 1979].

 Samples are air dried,  sieved and soxhlet ex-
 tracted with  1:1 acetone/hexane  for 16 hours.
 Extracts are  cleaned up by Florisil column
 chromatography.   Further separation of PCBs from
 Pesticides is done with silica gel  column
chroinatoqraphy.   The extracts are screened by
GC/EC.   Samples are quantified and confirmed by
GC/EC.   GC/MS analysis  of the ABN extracts is '
used for additional confirmation.

                                SEDIMENTS ANALYSIS
                    (Pesticides,  PCBs, Acids, Base,  Neutrals)


 Sample  Extract  Preparation

 See Flow Sheet  (Appendix  F,  Figure  1)

 I.   PESTICIDES/PCB  ANALYSIS  BY  DUAL COLUMN  6C/EC

     For the pesticides  one has  an analytical column  and a  confirmatory column.
     The same is  true  for  the PCBs.  In  the  procedure, the  pesticide analytical
     column  serves as  the  PCB confirmatory column and the PCB analytical column
     serves  as the pesticide  confirmatory column.  WITHOUT  CONFIRMATION OF THE
     RESULTS OF  THE  ANALYTICAL COLUMN, ONE CANNOT SAY THAT  A PARTICULAR COMPOUND
     IS  PRESENT  IN THE SAMPLE EXTRACT.

     1.   GC/EC Screen

         Purpose:  To  get  information  from the  scans  such that  proper concentra-
         tion adjustments  may be  made  such that the  amounts that the EC detector
         see are  in  range  of  the  standards used.

     2.   GC/EC Scan

         a.   Calibration Run  - Use Reference Standards

             Purposes:

                    i.  To note  any  changes  in  column resolution

                  ii.   To note  any  changes  in  detector response

                  iii.  To obtain Relative Response  Factors for the  Internal
                        Standard  Method  used for Quantitation of Fractions
                        "D" and  "F"

                  iv.  To obtain Area Response Factors for the External
                        Standard  Method  used for Quantitation of Fraction  "E"

         b.   Sample  Scans:  also  includes a  method blank, spike, and duplicate

     3.   Data Reduction  and Compilation

     4.   Report:   expressed in MG/KG (Dry weight basis)

II.   SEMIVOLATILES ANALYSIS BY CAPILLARY GC/MS

     Semivolatiles = Acids, Base, Neutrals

     Capillary:   Fused Silica, SE-54        Mass Range:  45 --  450 amu
                                      F-8

-------
Quantitation Method:  0-10 Phenanthrene as Internal Standard

1.   Preliminary Requirements before scans may be run

     Autotune and Decafluorotriphenyl Phosphine

2.   GC/MS Scans

     acquire raw data for the Standards, method blank, samples, duplicate
     and spike

3.   Data Reduction

     a.  Edit, if necessary, the "ID" files for those compounds for which
        we have reference standards and routinely analyze

The  information in the ID files include the following:

Compound #
Chemical Name:
Spectrum #:
Relative Retention Time:
Relative Response Factor:
Concentration:

I_ON    MASS      %AREA

 1      188       100
 2      189        16
 3      184        16

Relative Retention Time (RRT) = Retention Time of Compound
                                Retention line of ISTD

Relative Response Factor (RRF) = (Amount ISTD)(Area Response Compound
                                 (Amount Compound)(Area Response ISTD

The above data is necessary to run the QUA NT 11) programs on the three
Quantid Lists which we have (Acid, Base/Neutrals, Pesticides, PCBs).
Requirements for Quantid  hits.

    h.  Reconstructed Total  Ion Current Scan  (RIC)

        i.    Find,  confirm and obtain  mass spectra  for Quantid hits

        ii.   Examine RIC  for unknowns

             a.   Library  search each unknown  peak for "tentative" identifica-
                 tions.   Document  identifications (Scan MS and Library MS).

             b.   Hydrocarbons are  aliphatic hyrdrocarbons and their amounts
                 summed.

             c.   Unknowns are reported  with their Scan #.

                                 F-9

-------
      c.   Concentration  Estimation  of  "Tentative"  and  Unknowns

          Use QUAN 3 program

          Assumption made:  RRF  of  compound  =  1

               Concentration  (mg/kg) =  (Area  of Compound)(Amount  of ISTD)
                                       (Area of  ISTD)(RRF)(Sample  Size  in  KG)

      d.   Report:   expressed  in  mg/kg  (Dry weight  bases)

III.   VOLATILES ANALYSIS BY PURGE AND  TRAP GC/MS

      Analysis is  performed on a separate portion  of the  original  sediment  sample.
      Sequence of  Events

      1.   Preliminary Requirements  before any  scans may be  run
          Autotune and Bromof1uorobenzene
          Mass Range: 45 —  300 amu
          Quantitation Method:   2-Bromo-l-chloropropane as  Internal  Standard

      2.   GC/MS Scans

          acquire  raw data  for the  Standard, method blank,  samples,  duplicate

      3.   Data Reduction:   See above

                Naphthalene and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons


All of the naphthalenes are production of coal tar and can be produced by
the incomplete combustion of coal.  Naphthalene is used industrially to manu-
facture phthalic acid (by oxidation).  Naphthalene is widely used as a starting
material for various dye intermediates.  Naphthalene has also found some use
as a solvent and lubricant.  All of the other naphthalenes have very limited
or no industrial significance.

     This group most likely consists of branched and unbranched alkanes found
in petroleum refinery cuts, such as gasoline, kerosene, and fuel oils.  These
compounds are obtained by cracking and/or alkalation processes carried out on
crude petroleum.
toluene

     Toluene can be obtained from natural  sources such as petroleum or coal
tar.  It can also be produced from alkanes by catalytic reforming.  Toluene  is
used as a solvent and as an organic chemical  starting material  for producing
a wide variety of products.

15. SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES
16. ABSTRACT

The purpose of  this  report  is  to present the analytical results of the organic and
inorganic  findings from 103 sediment survey sites.   The Buffalo New York area con-
tained within the survey is a  heavily contaminated  area.  Almost all of the 66 sites
analyzed contained sediments which exceeded USEPA-Region V classification of heavily
polluted for conventional contaminants and/or metals.  Insufficient benthic living
organisms  were  found in any of the sediments collected to permit analysis for
contaminants.

Organic substances in this  survey which were, "identified" and "quantified" by
GC/MS to have concentrations of 5ppm or greater, contained nine potential or
positive carcinogens and eight substances having a  potential for chronic aquatic
toxicity.  The  carcinogenic toxicants are:  anthracene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo-
(a)pyrene, chlorotoluene, fluoranthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, pyrene, and
tetrachlorobenzene.   The aquatic toxicants are:   acenapthene, p-tert-butyl phenol,
chlorobenzene,  chloronaphthalene, di-n-butylphthalate, dichlorobenzene, penta-
chlorobenzene,  and trichlorobenzene.
