Tracing sewage-contaminated sediments in Hamilton Harbour using selected geochemical indicators
Abstract
Natural tracers in bottom sediments around the outfall of the Burlington Skyway Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) were analyzed to investigate the pathways of fine contaminated sediments associated with the outfall. The properties examined were: coprostanol and isotope ratios of nitrogen and carbon. The spatial distribution pattern for all the tracers was characterized by extreme values in the vicinity of the outfall, with a systematic decrease with …
