Abstract

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) contamination in Ecuador, has taken special importance on the environmental protection agendas of electric utilities of the country. One of the most important electricity distribution companies, the Electricity Company Quito, requires environmental management initiatives to avoid the human health and environmental risks associated with PCB contamination in some of their electric equipment. This study presents an environmental management plan for PCBs in the Electricity Company Quito. It evaluates the present situation of the PCB contamination in the company, as well as the alternatives available for the PCB management. The document suggests suitable activities to deal with the PCB contamination, and finally defines practical strategies for a successful plan implementation.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
