ATSDR - PHA - Onondaga Lake, Syracuse, New York_p2 |
 | | Onondaga Lake is a local groundwater discharge point and contaminants from the lake would not be expected to migrate to groundwater under non-pumping conditions (NYS DEC, 1989). |
 | | Onondaga Lake sediments that contain elevated levels of PAHs were mostly localized in areas at the southeastern portion of the lake. |
 | | The accumulation of contaminants from the lake in waterfowl is unknown, and this presents a data gap that prevents the evaluation of possible past, present, and future human exposure to lake contaminants through ingestion of waterfowl. |
