Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : releases of harmful substances to water. : En4-144/81-2020E-PDF
"The release of some substances to the environment can harm human health, wildlife and biological diversity. Toxic metals released to water can enter the food web and accumulate in the tissues of living organisms. Exposure to these substances, even in small amounts, can be hazardous to both humans and wildlife.

The mercury, lead and cadmium releases to water indicators track facility-based releases of these substances to water"--Page 5.
