Not held here: a discharge permit's own limits, and any rule for zinc outside the 14 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 Newfoundland and Labrador (CA-NL) and the place above it, Canada (CA): 14 instruments, for every parameter name matching “zinc”: zinc, zinc 65, total zinc, zinc total, zinc cyanide, zinc chloride, zinc phosphide, zinc extractible, total zinc marine, iron nickel h zinc, iron nickel h zinc h, zinc cyanide zn cn 2, and 12 more (in the JSON).
