Bodily Health, Contaminants, and the Environment : Recognizing the Impacts of Industrial Pollution in Deindustrializing Sydney, Nova Scotia / Kristoffer Archibald.  Montréal, Québec : Concordia University, 2016. 226 pages ; 29 cm.

Throughout the twentieth century, the city of Sydney, Nova Scotia was home to a steel industry that polluted the air and contaminated the waterway of Muggah Creek, known in local parlance as the Tar Ponds. This dissertation examines public discourse surrounding the subject of industrial pollution in the deindustrializing city of Sydney, focusing between 1950 and 2014. It explores how diverse community interests--including those of steelworkers, local environmentalists, residents whose properties bordered the contaminated site, and members of the local business community--interpreted and responded to the pollution.
