Microbial source tracking of fecal pollution at Toronto's Centre Island and Kew Beaches in 2004 / Thomas A. Edge, Stephen Hill, Gary Stinson, Peter Seto, and Jiri Marsalek.: En13-5/06-007E-PDF
"A study was conducted by the National Water Research Institute, Environment Canada to determine the source of fecal pollution responsible for beach postings at two Toronto beaches in the summer of 2004. The study applied a microbial source tracking (MST) approach to determine the source of fecal contamination at Centre Island and Kew Beaches. Since microbial source tracking is still an emerging field, additional lines of evidence were sought from monitoring microbial water quality at the beaches and observing the numbers of animals and their fecal droppings in the beach areas"--Executive summary.
