ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on to the water use, waterborne wastes and wastes from livestock and poultry. Tthe data are collated in a form that is suitable for use with the input-output models. The chapter examines the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of waterborne wastes and the settleable and suspended solids from Canadian manufacturing industries. Water is relatively cheaper in Canada than it is in the United States. The chapter deals with Airborne emissions form the subject matter and refuse collection and disposal. The type and quantity of airborne wastes received by the atmosphere affects the ability of the atmosphere to supply animals and industry with the inputs that they require. The Canadian mineral industry may be divided into two parts: mineral fuels and non-mineral fuels. Three types of mineral fuel were used in 1961 for the generation of thermal electricity: natural gas, coal and fuel oil. Refuse production and disposal in Canada is shrouded in mystery.
