From the Abstract: "The Department of Ecology analyzed polybrominated diphenyl ether flame retardants (PBDEs) in freshwater fish and water samples collected statewide during 2005-06. This was done in response to increasing PBDE levels in the environment and concern about potential adverse human health effects from fish consumption. The goal was to establish baseline conditions that could be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the Washington State PBDE Chmical Action Plan and other efforts to reduce PBDE inputs to the environment." Study included water bodies within Olympic National Park.
