Northern Contaminents Program Passive Air Sampling Network
Principal Investigator: Hung, Hayley
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4494. The goal of the passive sampling network is to expand the number of sampling locations to get a more comprehensive understanding of the level of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and mercury entering the region, where the pollutants are coming from and how they are changing over time. To provide spatially-distribut...

Inuvik Regional Human Contaminants Monitoring Program
Principal Investigator: MacNeil, Chuck
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999 1998
Summary: This study will serve to establish the types & levels of organochlorines and heavy metals in maternal and cord blood samples, and the level of mercury in hair samples from participants in the area served by the Inuvik Regional & Social Services Board. Sampling protocol has been outlined technical specialists in the field of organochlorine in blood and mercury in hair. Participating mothers deliver...

Persistent organic contaminants in the Great Slave Lake ecosystem.
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 1995 1994
Summary: The researchers will collect samples of sediments from the bottom of Great Slave Lake at sites near Fort Resolution and Lutsel K'e. This data will allow a better understanding of how fast sediments are deposited on the lake bottom in various regions. Researchers will also collect invertebrates and fish samples as part of an overall study of contaminants in the lake's ecosystem....

Estimation of the risk to the inhabitants of Fort Resolution of renal impairment related to the long-term consumption of traditional food contaminated by environmental cadmium.
Principal Investigator: Chan, L.H.M.
Licensed Year(s): 1994
Summary: The researchers will be collecting food samples and analyzing them for the presence of cadmium. The study is being conducted in concert with H. Kuhnlein's study on food use patterns in Dene/Metis communities. Thus, cadmium levels in food can be assessed in light of food consumption patterns in order to address the risks associated with consumption of foods containing cadmium....
