Journal ArticleDOI
Contaminants in the Canadian Arctic: 5 years of progress in understanding sources, occurrence and pathways.
Robie W. Macdonald,Leonard A. Barrie,Terry F. Bidleman,Miriam L. Diamond,Dennis Gregor,R. G. Semkin,William M. J. Strachan,Yi-Fan Li,Frank Wania,Mehran Alaee,L.B. Alexeeva,Sean Backus,R. Bailey,J.M. Bewers,Charles Gobeil,Crispin J. Halsall,Tom Harner,Julian T. Hoff,Liisa M. Jantunen,W.L. Lockhart,Donald Mackay,Derek C. G. Muir,Janusz A. Pudykiewicz,Kenneth J. Reimer,John N. Smith,Gary A. Stern,W.H. Schroeder,R. Wagemann,Mark B. Yunker +28 more
TL;DR: New knowledge developed under the NCP on the sources, occurrence and pathways of contaminants (organochlorines, Hg, Pb and Cd, PAHs, artificial radionuclides) are highlighted and compelling evidence for close connectivity between the global emission of contaminants from industrial and agricultural activities and the Arctic is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric deposition of toxic chemicals to the Great Lakes: A review of data through 1994
Raymond M. Hoff,William M. J. Strachan,Clyde W. Sweet,C. H. Chan,M. Shackleton,Terry F. Bidleman,Kenneth A. Brice,Deborah A. Burniston,S. Cussion,Donald F. Gatz,K.S. Harlin,William H. Schroeder +11 more
TL;DR: An update of the atmospheric loadings of 11 organochlorine chemicals, five trace elements and four polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to the Great Lakes is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melting glaciers: a major source of persistent organochlorines to subalpine Bow Lake in Banff National Park, Canada.
Jules M. Blais,David W. Schindler,Derek C. G. Muir,Martin Sharp,David B. Donald,Melissa J. Lafrenière,Eric Braekevelt,William M. J. Strachan +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that melting glaciers supply 50 to 97% of the organochlorine inputs to a subalpine lake in Alberta, Canada, while contributing 73% of input water, suggesting that climate warming may cause melting glaciers to become increasing sources of contaminants to freshwaters.
Journal ArticleDOI
The transport of β-hexachlorocyclohexane to the western Arctic Ocean: a contrast to α-HCH
Yi-Fan Li,Robie W. Macdonald,Liisa M. Jantunen,Tom Harner,Terry F. Bidleman,William M. J. Strachan +5 more
TL;DR: A large database for α-hexachlorocyclohexane (α-HCH), together with multimedia models, shows this chemical to have exhibited classical "cold condensation" behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Atmospheric Deposition of Toxic Pollutants to the Great Lakes As Measured by the Integrated Atmospheric Deposition Network
Barbara R. Hillery,Matt F. Simcik,Ilora Basu,Raymond M. Hoff,William M. J. Strachan,Debbie Burniston,C. H. Chan,Kenneth A. Brice,Clyde W. Sweet,Ronald A. Hites +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an update of atmospheric loadings to the Great Lakes for seven organochlorine pesticides, four polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners and total PCBs, 4 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and four trace metals.
