Not held here: a discharge permit's own limits, and any rule for mercury outside the 16 instruments we hold for this place and the places above it. A row missing here is missing from our sources, not from the law.
Free check: send your permit or your lab results, and we check each number against these rows, every verdict cited to its page, by email within 5 business days. Or send the link to a rule we do not hold: we read it and cite it by page.
Every instrument we hold for British Columbia (CA-BC) and the place above it, Canada (CA): 16 instruments, for every parameter name matching “mercury”: mercury, mercury ii, mercury total, methyl mercury, mercury total total, mercury ii dissolved, mercury total methyl, total mercury marine, mercury total in water, mercury acetato o phenyl, total mercury freshwater, mercury total recoverable, and 5 more (in the JSON).
