Dioxin and furan levels in sediments, fish and invertebrates from fishery closure areas of coastal British Columbia / by L.E. Harding and W.M. Pomeroy.: En40-241/90-09E-PDF

Three companies operating pulpmills at these locations were required by Environment Canada and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, under authority of the Fisheries Act and the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, to undertake further sampling and analysis to determine the extent of contamination.
