Born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Sharon Pollock has established a strong reputation across the country as an actor, a playwright, and a director. Best known for such plays as Walsh, The Komagata Maru Incident, and Blood Relations, Pollock has been associated mainly with the theatres of western Canada, particularly with Theatre Calgary, but her two Governor General's Awards testify to her strong national reputation. The Sharon Pollock Papers depict the growth and development of this outstanding dramatist, as well as providing a rich source for the study of Canadian drama in general. The papers are introduced with an exhaustive and scholarly biocritical essay by Professor Denis Salter of McGill University, and constitute a major addition to the Canadian Archival Series.

Abstract: The application of pharmaceuticals and personal care products is substantial in industrialized and high-income north-western European societies. Faroe Island, Iceland and Greenland are part of this modern society, although some areas are more suffused by technology and modern living than others. This also pertains to the standards of the local solutions for waste water treatment systems, but not so much to the health services. The present report summarises the results of screening analyses of pharmaceuticals and additives in personal care products in presumed hotspots in Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland. The study focuses on sewage lines from households and industry in general, and from hospitals. In all 38 pharmaceuticals or metabolites of pharmaceuticals and 7 personal care products were analysed
