FIGURE 2.19. DNA adducts in English sole and rock sole, from the Flatfish Toxicopathic Injury Study, compared to historical data. Error bars indicate + one standard error. n = number of composite analyses. nmol add/mol DNA bases = nanomoles adducts/moles DNA bases. Site abbreviations: Colvos = Colvos Passage; 11th St = 11th Street Bridge; LTB = Lower Turning Basin; UTB = Upper Turning Basin; Hylebos = Hylebos Waterway. Years listed behind the site name indicate when data was collected; data collected in '94 is from the present study; data collected in '88 is the range (indicated by arrows) of values from Stein et al. (1992); '88 data is adjusted based on changes in methods for quantifying DNA adduct concentrations.
