Determination of resin and fatty acids in sediments near pulpmill locations / Hing-Biu Lee and Thomas E. Peart.: En13-5/90-150E-PDF

"Pulping of coniferous and soft wood species produces large quantities of resin and fatty acids that end up in paper mill effluents. The discharge of these effluents into receiving waters can result in levels of these acids that may be toxic to fish.

This methodology will find application in many Pulpmill monitoring program being established by Environment Canada"--Management perspective, page i.
