Water odour, Athabasca River : February and March, 1993 / prepared for the Northern River Basins Study under project 4411-B1 by Sandra Kenefick, Brian Brownlee, Elizabeth Hrudey, Les Gammie and Steve Hrudey.R71-49/3-42E-PDF

"The purpose of this study was to determine the potential for off-flavour tainting of water and/or fish in the Athabasca River by compounds discharged by bleached kraft and chemi-thermomechanical pulp mills. The opportunity to determine in-stream occurrence of common tainting compounds prior to the startup of the Alberta-Pacific mill was exploited. The project involved chemical analyses including gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC/MS), gas chromatography / flame ionization detection (GC/FID) and olfactory gas chromatography (OGC), as well as flavour profile panel analyses by both an experienced sensory panel and a newly trained sensory panel. These analyses were carried out on water and effluent samples collected at the time-of-travel of the Athabasca River and its tributaries in February and March of 1993"--Introduction.
