Summary:
The U.S. Department of Interior has recently expressed concern over the possible adverse environmental impact of farming in the Everglades National Park. In an effort to determine the severity of this threat, a study was undertaken to analyze soil samples collected from the Everglades National Park and agricultural lands east of the Park for trace metals and certain chlorinated hydrocarbons. The objectives of this study were to 1) determine levels of PCB's, selected pesticides, and trace metals, and 2) determine if horizontal transport of these metals and anthropogenic compounds from adjacent farmlands into the Park is occurring.
