Using Quantitative Fatty Acid Signature Analysis to Investigate Diet and Mercury in Porcupine Caribou
Principal Investigator: Chan, Laurie H. M.
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: Lichens, cotton grass and willows will be collected in the NWT to be used in a study of caribou diet in comparison with quantitative fatty acid signature (QFASA) and mercury analyses. Fieldwork is being conducted in correlation with a caribou serum and adipose tissue sampling project. Mercury (Hg) is a global environmental contaminant that derives mostly from burning fossil fuels. The Porcupine...

Determination of PBDEs in Canadian North Landfill Leachate and Soils
Principal Investigator: Danon-Schaffer, Monica N
Licensed Year(s): 2006
Summary: Given the threats of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and their widespread appearance in marine mammals and far northern communities, identifying the sources of these compounds and of various PBDE congeners in air, water and soil are of utmost importance. Potential ecological and human health risks, and increasing concentrations of PBDEs in the environment require early implementation of con...
