Summary
This report is one in a series that establishes ambient water quality criteria for British Columbia. It includes an overview which is followed by the main body of the report. This document sets criteria for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to protect drinking water, freshwater and marine aquatic life, recreational waters and food-processing industries.
Criteria for wildlife, irrigation and livestock use were not set in this document because pertinent information about the effects of PAHs on these water uses is lacking. There are no CCME (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment) guidelines for any of the water uses for which we have set PAH criteria.
Aquatic life is the most sensitive water use affected by polycyclic hydrocarbons. In particular, aquatic organisms are very vulnerable to the phototoxic effects of PAHs that accumulate in their tissues. The criteria for PAHs are summarized in Table 2. and Table 3. A more detailed discussion of the criteria is presented in the main body of the report.
