Objectif(s): To measure atmospheric concentrations and deposition rates of a selected group of organic contaminants such as insecticides, herbicides and PCB's at five Canadian sites.
Description du projet: In this study, we will collect air, dust and rain samples on a weekly basis at five Canadian locations during the months of June and July, 1993. Three locations are in the NWT while two locations are in Saskatchewan. The samples will be analyzed in Regina and Edmonton for the presence of certain insecticides, herbicides and PCB's that are known to be transported in the atmosphere.
