The study design and approach for the National Study of Chemical Residues in Fish (NSCRF) focused on pollutant selection, field sampling procedures, analytical protocols and site selection. Chemicals were selected for analysis based on the potential of the compound to bioaccumulate in fish, the potential for human health effects, the persistence of the chemical in the environment, and the ability to detect the compound in fish tissue. These volumes focus on the results of these tests.
