Marine Studies of San Pedro Bay, California. Part VII. Sediment Investigations. Sediment Compositions in Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbors and San Pedro Basin
Most surface sediments in the Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbors and nearby San Pedro Basin are grossly contaminated, with the exception of a few localities. Restricted dredging of polluted sediments from fractional areas of the harbor complex is probably beneficial to the ecosystem if the polluting substances can be properly disposed of. The Los Angeles County Sanitation District sewer outfall at White's Point is found to contribute substantial amounts of trace metals and chlorinated pesticides to the San Pedro Basin, while the harbor complex is found to be an important source of polychlorinated biphenyls into the San Pedro Basin. Interrelationships of pollution parameters are presented.
