Subject
Polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons and snowmobile pollution
Abstract
The study was created in an attempt to discover if polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons, (PAHs), can or do have an effect on the natural ecosystems of the Haliburton Forest. Also, an attempt is made to determine what the possible effects of the levels of PAHs created in the Forest could have on the natural ecosystems of the area both aquatic and terrestrial. The study concentrates on the snowmobile as a major source of pollution.
The paper outlines the problem, describes the study methodology, presents tabular results, and concludes with a discussion and recommendations for options within the Forest to reduce emissions produced.
