The effect of a major emitter on the rain chemistry of southern British Columbia : a preliminary analysis. Part I / D. A. Faulkner.: En57-45/87-1E-PDF
"The ASARCO copper smelter in Tacoma, WA was a major emitter of sulphur dioxide and atmospheric arsenic prior to its closing in March 1985. Precipitation chemistry data collected from a network parallel to the US/Canada border in southwestern British Columbia were analyzed to determine changes in rain chemistry as a result of the closure. Significant decreases in arsenic concentrations were noted. Decreases in sulphate and nitrate concentrations were detected as well but it is not clear that these can be attributed to the smelter closure. Suggestions for future studies are offered"--Abstract.
