1) At the conclusion of site remediation, is remaining PCB contamination due primarily to the formerly used defense site or to atmospheric deposition? 2) Is the remaining PCB contamination biologically relevant for resident freshwater fishes? 3) Do contaminant levels have implications for the health of people on St. Lawrence Island?

Levels of PCBs in the Suqi River fish are still high, even though clean- up is considered complete… and contaminant chemistry reveals a mostly local source (FUDS), but are these PCB concentrations biologically meaningful?
Is the hormone system of the fish disrupted?

Sites downstream of FUDS “Control” sites
Site 5 male: abnormal liver, abnormal testes Site 13 male: normal liver, normal testes
Is gene expression of the fish disrupted?
Expression of genes associated with DNA repair and replication, proteases, metal ion binding, symporters…
1) At the conclusion of site remediation, is remaining PCB contamination due primarily to the formerly used defense site or to atmospheric deposition? Most PCB contamination in the Suqi River originated at the FUDS. 2) Is the remaining PCB contamination biologically relevant for resident freshwater fishes? Sentinel fish in the Suqi River show estrogenic effects, thyroid disruption, and altered gene expression. 3) Do contaminant levels have implications for the health of people on St. Lawrence Island? Fish and humans share the same hormone systems and most of the genes underlying diseases in humans are the same genes underlying those diseases in fish. Estrogenic effects are associated with abnormal development and certain cancers. Altered gene expression results are also consistent with higher cancer risk. The fish results, therefore, indicate that PCB levels in the Suqi River are still high enough to cause health problems in people exposed to those PCBs, through, for example, eating Suqi River fish.
