Modelling of toxic contaminants in the Niagara River plume in Lake Ontario : application to Niagara River / by I. Stepien ... [et al.].: En13-5/86-29E-PDF
"The work described in this report is predicated by the DOE concerns on the toxic contaminants in the Niagara River.The distribution of organochlorine contaminants carried by the Niagara River into Lake Ontario has been simulated by a contaminant fate and transport model, as part of the NWRI Project on "Niagara River Toxics." The model was developed through interdisciplinary team work incorporating hydrodynamics of river-lake interactions and known chemical kinetics of the measured organochlorine contaminants. Extensive verification of the model with the observed field data has demonstrated its predictive capability which is one of the main goals of the DOE Toxics Management Program in general and Niagara River Toxics Project in particular. The model can be used to assess the concentration and exposure time of toxic chemicals for purposes of defining water quality standards"--Management perspective.
