Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the potential for off-flavour tainting of water and/or fish in the Athabasca River by compounds discharged from pulp mills. Three different analytical methods commonly used in monitoring for the presence of odorous compounds in water supplies are described and results are presented: odour characterization by a trained flavour profile panel; olfactory gas chromatography; and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy. The usefulness of each method in providing different types of information is noted. The results are compared with those of an earlier survey to indicate the impact of combined effluents at Hinton on the odour of the Athabasca River.
