New Report on the Great Lakes:
“Partners in Pollution”
The Canadian Environmental Law Association and
Environmental Defence, through their PollutionWatch project,
released a new report on the Great Lakes in 2006, “Partners in
Pollution: An Assessment of Continuing Canadian and United
States Contributions to Great Lakes Pollution.” “Partners in
Pollution” is a groundbreaking report that offers, for the first
time in many years, an assessment of continuing Canadian and
U.S. contributions to Great Lakes pollution. It uses a matched
pollution data set collected through Canada’ s National
Pollutant Release Inventory and the U.S.Toxics Release Inventory,
to analyze the releases and transfers of pollutants on both sides
of the Great Lakes border for 2002 and the trends between 1998
and 2002.
The report is available in full at www.PollutionWatch.org.
