The webpage describes results from the first complete year of sampling. An extract:<\/p>\n

“Full strength seawater is about 50,000 uS\/cm. So water in Governors Brook on the high EC days (Fig 1) was the equivalent of about 20-40% seawater. The Canadian Water Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Life for chloride are 120 mg CL\/L for Long term Exposure and 640 mg CL\/L for short term exposure; the equivalent EC values are 474 and 2414 uS\/cm respectively (source). On the days when EC exceeded 9,999 uS\/cm, the chloride values were likely at least 5 x the critical value for short term exposure!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
