In addition to the long-term acidification of waters, "episodic" or short duration events can have severe consequences for living organisms. In Canada, large amounts of the total annual precipitation are deposited through storm events or as snowfall. The large volumes of pollutants which can be released... 

Despite the 40-year history of use in Russia and the fact that past tests indicate that they are beneficial for use under cold-weather conditions, little consideration has been given to these materials in Western Europe and North America. More basic research is now underway in research organizations in Canada, Europe and the USA. One notable project is that being conducted as part of the Corps of Engineers Construction Productivity Advancement Research Program, a cost-sharing partnership between the Corps and industry [27]. 

It has now been modified to meet the requirements of a Canadian NGO with the appointment of directors instead of board members. The ICCIDD is now registered as a Canadian NGO with (in addition) approval as a charitable organization in Canada. The ICCIDD was indebted to Mr. Robin Ritchie, QC, Ottawa, for the necessary legal advice to make this transfer.

Tar sand, also variously called oil sand (in Canada) or bituminous sand, is the term commonly used to describe a sandstone reservoir that is impregnated with a heavy, viscous black extra heavy cmde oil, referred to as bitumen (or, incorrectly, as native asphalt). Tar sand is a mixture of sand, water, and bitumen, but many of the tar sand deposits in the United States lack the water layer that is beHeved to cover the Athabasca sand in Alberta, Canada, thereby faciHtating the hot-water recovery process from the latter deposit. The heavy asphaltic organic material has a high viscosity under reservoir conditions and caimot be retrieved through a weU by conventional production techniques. 

This section is an overview of the evolntion of standards and codes for flame arresters from varions organizations in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Enropean conntries. Brief snmmaries of the contents and reqnirements of varions standards and codes are presented in Chapter 8. 

Similar findings on dairy farms in Canada were reported by Stonehouse, et al. (2001). The superior economic performance on organic dairy farms was attributed to lower costs of production for almost all material inputs, including dairy herd replacements and livestock feeds. The organic dairy farmers used more land for feed crop production for the dairy cows in order to be as self-sufficient as possible. The conventional dairy farmers imported crop seeds, synthetic chemical fertilisers and pesticides, feedstuffs and herd replacements, with more of their land being devoted to cash crops. 

At the beginning of the 1990s, Houston Industries developed an enzymatic process ( Enzymatic Coal Desulfurization ) protected in Canada and US [83,84], Although, the application was focused to coal desulfurization it may also be applicable to crude oil and fossil fuel-derived liquids. The processes claim the removal of both, organic as well as inorganic sulfur species. The process was described as using ground coal (10-50 p,m) slurried with water, while the oil was treated in an aqueous emulsion. 

The following tubes are a selection of those used to measure the instantaneous concentration of gases and vapors in the atmosphere. Tubes of this type are manufactured and distributed by the Drager organization in Europe (Draeger in the U.S. and Canada), and by the National Mine Service Company in the U.S. They can be obtained from a safety supply store. 

Wancer is one of the leading causes of death in Canada. It is a disease in which cells mutate and grow at uncontrolled rates, disrupting the body s normal functions. TAXOL , shown at the bottom of the page, is an organic compound that is found in the bark of the Pacific yew tree. After many tests and reviews, TAXOL was approved for use in treating ovarian cancer.
