National Water Monitoring Program for Pesticides (NWMPP) water quality data are presented for a network of freshwater sites across Canada. A two-year pilot program is being conducted in partnership between Health Canada (HC), Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), and Agriculture and...

This study set out to provide an up-to-date portrait of the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination status in a freshwater food web from the St. Lawrence River (QC, Canada). Water, sediments, aquatic vegetation, invertebrates, and some fish species were targeted for analysis. All...

Ammonia (NH3) data were collected at regionally representative Canadian Air and Precipitation Monitoring Network (CAPMoN) sites. Radiello brand passive samplers were deployed at 2 or 5 m above the ground for two week periods and analyzed by the National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP)...

This study examined the effect of two dinonylnaphthalene sulfonic acids (NSAs) on freshwater organisms: calcium dinonylnaphthalene sulfonate (CaDNS), and dinonylnaphthalene disulfonic acid (DNDS). Chronic effects were characterized by exposing fertilized fathead minnow eggs to sediment-associated...

Increased flux of carbon and nutrients from human activities in river basins were linked to acidification and deepwater hypoxia in estuaries and coastal areas worldwide. Annual loads (1995–2011) of suspended particulate matter (SPM), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total nitrogen (TN) and total...
