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...


Temporal trends and spatial variations in persistent organic pollutants and metals in sea-run char from the Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Evans, Marlene S.
Licensed Year(s): 2007 2006
Summary: This is a study investigating the contaminant levels in sea-run Arctic char as they return from feeding in the ocean. The aim of this study is to provide communities with more information on the chemical levels in these fish. By making these chemical measurements in char and comparing them with chemical levels in marine mammals, there would be a possibility to demonstrate that char is a good food ...


2002 Baseline Air Quality Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Monitoring Program in the Taglu and Parsons Lake Production Areas
Principal Investigator: Povey, Andrew
Licensed Year(s): 2002
Summary: Imperial Oil Resources, Aboriginal Pipeline Group, Conoco Canada Resources Ltd, Shell Canada Ltd, and ExxonMobil Canada initiated a number of Biophysical Baseline Studies during 2001 as part of a feasibility study for the Mackenzie Gas Project. This pro...


Atmospheric transport of organic contaminants
Principal Investigator: Waite, Don
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: In this study, we will collect air, dust and rain samples on a weekly basis at five Canadian locations during the months of June and July, 1993. Three locations are in the NWT while two locations are in Saskatchewan. The samples will be analyzed in Regina and Edmonton for the presence of certain insecticides, herbicides and PCB's that are known to be transported in the atmosphere....


Current contaminant deposition measurements in precipitation throughout the NWT
Principal Investigator: Gregor, Dennis J.
Licensed Year(s): 1993
Summary: Contaminants are carried in the air to the arctic during the winter when large-scale wind movements bring these contaminants from industrialized locations in North America, Europe and Asia to the north. Snow can collect these compounds from the air and bring them to the ground where they can accumulate. Thus, it is important to study the amount of contaminants in snow to determine the types and ...


Trace Organic Contaminants in Arctic Snow and Aquatic Ecosystems
Principal Investigator: Gregor, Dennis J.
Licensed Year(s): 1992 1991 1991 1990
Summary: Snow samples will be collected from approximately 30 sites across the NWT and Yukon in the spring of the year. This annual snow pack sample will allow an estimate of the quantity of organic contaminants that have been deposited over the winter season. To better understand the fate of these contaminants in the High Arctic, the researchers will undertake an intensive small basin study on Cornwallis ...
