Loadings from Toronto, Canada to Lake Ontario were quantified and major sources pathways identified, with the goal of informing opportunities for loading reductions. The contaminants polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) musks (PCMs). calculated measured concentrations three pathways: atmospheric processes, tributary runoff, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents. Although deposition Great Lakes has received...
The Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks leads 11 long-term monitoring programs at over 2,500 surface groundwater sampling locations across province that report chloride (Cl−) concentration, some dating back to 1960s. This study integrates these disparate datasets provide comprehensive evidence relevant spatial temporal Cl− trends in Laurentian Great Lakes, Ontario's inland lakes, streams groundwaters. While vast majority historical data indicate concentrations are...
Abstract Excessive use of road salts to maintain safe winter travel conditions leads increasing chloride (Cl) concentrations in streams, damaging the structure and function freshwater ecosystems. Long-term stream Cl trends are generally attributed increases urban land cover, however recent research shows that even relatively rural streams can retain exceed water quality guidelines summer after salting has stopped. Untangling relative influences long-term changes streamflow growth on is...
Many environmental studies require the characterization of a large geographical region using range representative sites amenable to intensive study. A systematic approach selecting study areas can help ensure that an adequate variables interest is captured. We present novel method representing larger region, in which divided into subregions, are characterized with relevant independent variables, and displayed mathematical variable space. Potential also this way, selected cover region. The...
