The US Geological Survey (USGS) Western Fisheries Research Center in partnership with US Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for research to provide a better understanding of the bioavailability and tissue distribution in salmon of organic chemicals in found in stormwater runoff including N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD-quinone). This research will help characterize the toxicological mechanisms related to impacts of stormwater runoff on salmon health in the Pacific Northwest (PNW).
