Vanadium concentrations of 2.4 to 5.6 mg/L were lethal in 7 days to rainbow trout of wet weight 1.2-6.2 g. The LC50 varied slightly over the 12 combinations of water quality, from hardness 30 to 350 units and pH 5.5 to 8.8. The 7-day LC5O may be estimated by the following equation, which...

The achievement of satisfactory air quality entails the adoption of one or more air pollution control strategies. Of the four basic strategies available, only air resource management requires the use of air quality models. Atmospheric dispersion models are a subset which can be employed either...

The third in a series of Atmospheric Environment Service Field Studies in the Alberta Oil Sands Study Area was carried out during June 16-27, 1977. The study was designed to cover the same objectives as those of the previous two studies but for summer conditions. As a consequence, the AES...
