Description:
Sampling of New York City treatment plant influents revealed that far greater amounts of metals were being received than could be accounted for by the known discharges from metal-finishing firms. Samplings of purely residential wastes at pumping stations, of industrial wastes other than those from electroplaters, and of storm water runoff were then conducted. It was found that the nonindustrial sources, including the potable water supply, are more significant than the metal-finishing industry, and they are presently beyond control. Concentrations of metals in treatment plant effluents and sludges and in the waters of New York Harbor also were determined.
