Modelling of methoprene concentration at storm sewer outfall [PDF]
The objective of this report is to compare the predicted concentration of methoprene, a larvicide used in the City of Toronto to control the widespread of West Nile Virus by suppressing mosquito growth, at storm sewer outfall during a typical year rainfalls (1980 rainfalls) with the Interim Provincial Water Quality Objectives (IPWQO).
