Abstract
⺠Wild freshwater mussels were collected from an urbanized river. ⺠Mussels living downstream of cites had reduced condition factor and mean age. ⺠Metal concentrations in mussel gills increased with multiple urban inputs. ⺠Ammonia and chloride at the downstream sites reach levels toxic to mussels. ⺠Chronic exposure to a complex contaminant mixture negatively impacted mussels.
