Tire wear particles end up on roads where they may run off into nearby rivers and lakes by rain and snowmelt. This study examined how toxic these tire particles are to eggs and the newly hatched larvae of the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas). Tire particles were finely ground up and were...

This study aimed to identify chemical components that could distinguish chemical mixtures in oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) from natural groundwater sources. Oil sands process-affected samples were collected from two different oil sands development tailing ponds, and natural groundwater...

The Water Survey of Canada provided a digital archive of river ice thickness measurements at four hydrometric monitoring stations along the Liard River. The average ice thickness measurements were extracted and compiled to the attached .csv file. The stations include: Liard River at Upper...

The Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) is an aquatic biomonitoring program for assessing the health of fresh water ecosystems in Canada. Benthic macroinvertebrates are collected at a site location and their counts are used as an indicator of the health of that water body....

The Atlantic dataset is part of Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Shoreline Classification and Pre-Spill database. Shoreline classification data has been developed for use by the Environmental Emergencies Program of Environment and Climate Change Canada for environmental protection...

The Metal Mining Effluent Regulations came into force in 2002 pursuant to the Fisheries Act to regulate the deposit of mine effluent and mine waste into waters frequented by fish. The Metal Mining Effluent Regulations were amended in 2018, and are now known as the Metal and Diamond Mining...

In 2006, the Government of Canada initiated the Chemicals Management Plan (CMP), which takes action regarding chemicals that are harmful to human health or the environment. One element of the CMP is Monitoring and Surveillance, which generates data on the presence and levels of chemical...
