Man-Made Initial Releases (e.g. Pesticide Applications, Industrial Emissions, Product Wear) Primary Sources Puget Sound Toxicant Sources Definition of COC Sources What do we mean by Primary Source? The source from which a COC is initially released to environmental media or released in a form which can be mobilized and transported in an environmental pathway Examples of Primary Sources are: PAHs from wood burning Copper from brake pad wear PCBs from transformer leakage Triclopyr from roadside ditch application PBDEs from fabric washing 1/20/2011 Draft - Preliminary Results
