Evans said Tests show Celgar low in dioxin By SIMON BIRCH Editor Levels of toxic dioxins and furans in wood pulp and effluent at the Celgar pulp mill in Castlegar are among the lowest found in British Columbia pulp mills, tests conducted for the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association have shown The results of the tests, earlier this year as part of a national dioxin testing program, show Celgar with ‘‘non-detectable’’ levels of dioxin and 310 parts per quadrillion furan in the mill’s effluent which is discharged into the Columbia River north of Castlegar In the pulp itself, Celgar with 3.4 parts per trillion dioxin and 62 parts per trillion furan Quantities as small as one part per trillion have been compared tova grain of sand in an Olympic-size swimming pool. A quadrillion is 10 times larger than atrillion The tests focused on the dioxin 3,7,8 TCDD — considered the most Poisonous of the dioxin family of chemicals — and furan 2,3,7,8 TCDF Of the 16 mills tested, just three had lower quantities of dioxin than Celgar while the local mill was around the middle of the pack in the furan tests Celgar manager Wilf Sweeney took the results in stride conducted the tests show “I guess they're (the results) pretty much what We would hope to see,”” he said today Asked whether the results of the mill’s efforts at reducing pollutants over the last few years, Sweeney said ‘I think much successful.’” tests reflect the it shows our efforts, as as we've been able, have been Sweeney said the st studies on and modernization of the mill expansion Celgar which would further reduce pollution — are complete and must now be evaluated by Celgar’s owners.
