Progress Decreased Toxic Contaminants Policy and Prevention
Continually improve practices and controls that prevent or reduce the effects of toxic contaminants on aquatic systems and humans. Build on existing programs to reduce the amount and effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Use research findings to evaluate the implementation of additional policies, programs and practices for other contaminants that need to be further reduced or eliminated.
