| Sažetak: | This study examines growing concerns and efforts to curb emissions and environmental
disruptions resulting from the production of aluminum in British Columbia at Kitimat
since the 1970s. Airbourne emissions, water contamination, and the environmental
impact of shipping traffic made the aluminum smelter at Kitimat a controversial
industrial site in an otherwise pristine and remote wilderness. Identifying the
contaminants of aluminum production on the Pacific coast of Canada presented
challenges to its sustainable production. Ultimately, definitions of sustainability created
by regulatory agencies changed to favour economic development, ranking economy over
environment.
