The evolution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), dioxins and furans in the atmosphere at Saguenay, Quebec - 2000-2005 / Anne-Marie Carter and André Germain.En154-47/2007E-PDF

Historically, high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been measured in Jonquière’s ambient air sampling station in the city of Saguenay. This report examines the impact of the April 2004 closure of the Horizontal Stud Söderberg (HSS) potrooms of Alcan’s Arvida aluminium smelting plant on the emissions and concentrations of PAHs. The evolution of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs, or dioxins) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs, or furans) in Jonquière’s ambient air is also examined. The results are compared with those observed at two other stations in Montréal from 2000 to 2005.
