Saguenay River

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Saguenay River

River, southern central Quebec, Canada. It drains Lac-Saint-Jean into the Saint Lawrence River at Tadoussac, northeast of Quebec city. Flowing east, it descends about 300 ft (90 m) in a turbulent stream in the first third of its 105-mi (169-km) course. Its fall is a source of hydroelectric power; its shores are in many places cliffs 1,000–1,800 ft (300–550 m) high. Noted for its scenery, it is a recreational area.

Thus, it should be no surprise that PAHs cause lung and urinary bladder cancer in aluminium workers who inhale these compounds and that PAHs may cause cancer of the digestive system in belugas, because these animals ingest fish that feed on plankton and invertebrates living in the contaminated sediments of the Saguenay river (10).
