This book was released on 1996 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this report is to compile and synthesise existing information from government and industry sources on the nature of liquid effluents from municipalities and non-pulp mill industries in northern Alberta river basins. Information was obtained from 16 continuously discharging municipal sewage treatment plants, 77 periodically discharging sewage plants, and 62 licensed industrial discharges such as oil sands plants, coal mines, cement plants, and wood products operations. Information presented includes: description of wastewater treatment methods used; releases of treated sanitary wastewater; quantity and quantity of sewage treatment plant data; characteristics (chemical, nutrient, microbial, toxicological) of sanitary wastewater discharges; industrial effluent characteristics; and impacts on the aquatic environment. Gaps in the data are also identified.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents results of a project that conducted broad-spectrum analyses of water and effluent samples upstream and downstream of major effluent sources on the Athabasca, Peace, and Wapiti-Smoky river systems in northern Alberta. Analytical methods to classify organic constituents in effluents were based on full-scan coupled gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, and all significant compounds were characterized with respect to mass spectra and chromatographic retention indices. Contaminants identified included esters, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and fatty acids.
