The toxic effects of a representative mixture (mining activities) of rare earth elements are studied in the hydra, an organism particularly sensitive to these elements. All data are a part subject of a publication containing method details, full QA/QC, interpretation and conclusions. Citation:...

In this study, Daphnia magna transcriptomic response was measured by microarray to evaluate sublethal effects of TBOEP as part of a multi-level biological approach including specific gene transcription measured by qRT-PCR, enzyme activity, and life-history endpoints (i.e., survival, growth, and...

In this study, the chronic effects of 2 BZT-UVs, 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-bis(1-methyl-1-phenylethyl)phenol (UV-234) and 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-di-tert-pentylphenol (UV-328) were evaluated for each compound alone and in a mixture on the freshwater green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii...

The Canadian Environmental Sustainability Indicators (CESI) program provides data and information to track Canada's performance on key environmental sustainability issues. The Sea ice in Canada indicators provide information on the area of sea in Canada covered by ice during the summer season....

In an effort to increase transparency and to facilitate access to information on substances in Canadian commerce, the Government of Canada is publishing a summary of the information received in response to the Notice with respect to perfluorohexane sulfonic acid, its salts and its precursors...

To increase transparency and to facilitate access to information on substances in Canadian commerce, the Government of Canada is publishing a compilation of the non-confidential information received in response to the Notice with respect to bisphenol A (BPA) and BPA structural analogues and...

This dataset includes all ministerial condition (MC) notices published under the authority of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA). The MC notice may be applied to a new substance or living organisms when Environment and Climate Change Canada and Health Canada suspect that a new...

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...
