Thermal impact evaluation for brunner Island steam electric station: Toward a more realistic assessment

A realistic approach to thermal impact assessment is presented which employs a two-dimensional thermal plume model, a large data base for river flow and temperature, and accounts for nonuniform spatial distribution of habitats and seasonal differences in fish behavior. The end result portrays real effects of the thermal impact rather than an artificially constructed worst-case scenario.     

Critical Review of Exposure and Effects: Implications for Setting Regulatory Health Criteria for Ingested Copper

Environmental Management - Decades of study indicate that copper oral exposures are typically not a human health concern. Ingesting high levels of soluble copper salts can cause acute...
