Chlorobenzene (CB) concentrations have been measured in sediments, water, and fish from Lakes Superior, Huron, Erie, and Ontario. In addition, CB concentrations in the Grand and Niagara Rivers, in four sewage-treatment plant effluents, and in three drinking water samples have been determined. In general, CB concentrations in the water samples were low,
