Q&A on world's biggest underwater DDT dump, off Palos Verdes

The Fish Contamination Education Collaborative has a new post up with a helpful questions and answers about the Palos Verdes Shelf Superfund site.

The collaborative -- meant to provide information to local fishermen about DDT in fish and sediment off Palos Verdes -- provides a starter set of facts to those unfamiliar with the contamination. Worth a look if you don't know about this major Superfund site, which had far-reaching environmental effects in Southern California.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is in the process of proceeding with a massive cleanup plan that includes capping part of the site, some 40 years after DDT stopped flowing into the area.
