"Arsenic and selenium were determined in water sediments and fish samples from the international Great Lakes, in water samples from international rivers and selected rivers in Ontario and in precipitation samples from the Great Lakes region, to assess their present levels and to provide base -line data for future reference"--Abstract.

"This is the second of a series of reports on the evaluation of analytical data. The first report evaluated the major ions sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, and the evaluation was carried out by six participating laboratories. The current report evaluates the nutrients phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon and the study involved nine laboratories - four in the Water Quality Division and five outside the federal government. Two more studies are in progress and reports are being prepared. These two studies evaluate the trace metals copper, zinc, lead, chromium, manganese, mercury, cadmium and arsenic"--Foreword, page v.

"This publication describes the procedures used in the Water Quality Division laboratories to determine the phosphorus concentration of detergents. A manual method published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), modified to overcome the interference from borates, is used to analyze samples that have a phosphorus concentration close to the 20% P205 maximum specified in the Phosphorus Concentration Control Regulations. An automated method has been developed, using "Technicon AutoAnalyzer" equipment, that enables detergent samples to be screened for phosphorus content at a rate of 20 samples per hour"--Summary.

"This report was prepared to provide the general public with technical information on detergents and the effects of phosphates on the water environment. It answers some of the more commonly-asked questions regarding phosphate-based detergents -- what they are, what they contain, how they work and how they affect the quality of our water resources. The property of biodegradability as it applies to detergents is explained"--Foreword.

Lamb of God was inspired by a news story about a man claiming to be Jesus Christ. Even though the Second Coming is prophesized several times in the Bible, and billions of people fervently believe it will happen, no one believed him. His name became yet another added to the long list of people who have struggled with that (presumed) delusion. Dozens are alive today, and like all the hopefuls through two millennia, have failed to convince anyone. This book is a story about how the Second Coming might be believed and succeed on a scale for the modern world. Readers will follow Joe Dioletta, Vatican researcher and family friend of the Pope, Sal Casarsa, a powerful Cardinal, and Tony Bernaducci, a priest, as they discover Christ's DNA in the Vatican Archives. This causes bitter conflict that is finally resolved when they find guidance in the scriptures that convinces them that they've been called upon to save mankind from imminent ruin. They believe their calling is to facilitate the Second Coming in an extremely controversial way, by cloning Jesus Christ. Lamb of God blossoms into a multi-generational family saga, where love, unrequited love, devotion, greed, treachery, lust, and corruption, are all at play in an epic tale of good vs evil.
