Sulfur pollution: an environmental study of Welland, Ontario

Abstract

The distribution of sulfur as an environmental pollutant is analysed in the vicinity of Welland, Ontario. A biogeochemical-cycle approach enables areas of excess accumulation to be compared among all linked ecosystem components. Although the patterns of distribution are similar, the amounts of sulfur accumulated in different ecosystems, grassland and woodland, show marked contrasts. The significance of these findings to urban and rural land-use planning is considered.
