Compare environmental contaminants

From: Public Services and Procurement Canada

Compare contaminants or learn more about a particular contaminant by consulting the fact sheets which describe its important chemical properties, how it will react in the environment, the main related sources of contamination, and a brief overview of health and safety issues.

Select at least 2 contaminants to compare

Note

Fact sheets are available for each contaminant by clicking the magnifying glass icon next to the contaminant name.
