Chlorinated Wastewater Effluents - PLS1

4.0 Recommendations for Research and Evaluation

The available information was sufficient to conduct an environmental assessment for CWWE. The available information indicated that power generating stations and some industrial sectors in Canada discharge chlorinated wastewater effluents. Little information was available, however, to assess the potential for harmful effects from these sources. In situ testing and biological surveys near power generating stations and industrial outfalls are required before these sources can be assessed. This research is considered to be of medium priority.
