Pages : 298
Book Description
Exploratory applications of mass balance modeling of PCB's in Lake Ontario. It is widely accepted that environmental fate models, in the form of mass balances or budgets, can play a useful role in managing the issue of the presence of toxic organic chemicals in the Great Lakes. Under the aegis of the IJC, three independant modelling efforts were produced in order to determine if the models gave similar, useful and understandable results. These groups developed different models of the fate of the PCB's in the water column, sediment and biota of Lake Ontario and projected the response of the lake to specified changes in PCB loading. These reports, reproduced in extenso in this volume, were evaluated during a workshop held in 1987 by scientists who also addressed their application and management implications. The Task Force of the IJC presents its views, conclusions and recommendations.

Great Lakes, Great Legacy?
Author: Theo Colborn
Publisher: Washington, D.C. : Conservation Foundation ; Ottawa : Institute for Research on Public Policy
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
This study argues that simply augmenting actions already taken to remedy environmental degradation in the Great Lakes region, such as control of polluters, and piecemeal restrictions of physical development, is not a sufficient response. Rather, it shows that a far-reaching commitment to reduce the environmental assault on the Great Lakes from all sources is necessary. It also underscores the need for a dramatic break from the crisis management approach to environmental degradation that persists in the region, and to develop a commitment to anticipate and prevent future legacies of environmental destruction.
