Occurrence of chlorinated paraffins in the St. Lawrence River near a manufacturing plant in Cornwall, Ontario / J.L. Metcalfe-Smith [and three others].: En13-5/95-62E-PDF
"Chlorinated paraffins are mainly used as plasticizers, high-pressure lubricants and flame retardants. They were on the first Priority Substances List (PSL) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA). It was not possible to assess whether these compounds were "toxic" as defined under Paragraph 11(a) of CEPA because no data were identified on their concentrations in the Canadian environment. One of the recommendations of the assessment was to acquire data on levels of chlorinated paraffins in the aquatic environment around the only manufacturing site (Imperial Chemical Industries Forest Products [ICI]) in Canada, on the St. Lawrence River at Cornwall, Ontario. This study responds to that recommendation"--Abstract.
