Understanding of distribution and sources of polybrominated diphenyl ethers in the north and east of Great Slave Lake and coastal regions
Principal Investigator: Chen, Bing
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5820. The proposed project will evaluate the temporal and spatial distribution of Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE) in the water and sediment of Great Slave Lake and surrounding communities, landfills, drinking water, and industries to identify the source of PBDEs. The concentration and distribution of PBDEs will b...


Ekati
Principal Investigator: Donald, Derek
Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5765. The main objectives of the field work for 2023 will be (1) to determine if the Ekati Diamond Mine is having an effect on the surrounding aquatic environment, wildlife, and air quality; and (2) to provide baseline data for areas where mine development may occur in the future. In winter, water samples will be colle...


Health Effects Monitoring Program
Principal Investigator: Chan, Laurie H. M.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5811. The Health Effects Monitoring Program (YKHEMP) began in 2017 with the main objective to establish a baseline of contaminant exposure and possible health effects in Yellowknife, Ndilo and Dettah, NWT, to ensure the Giant Mine Remediation Project (GMRP) does not negatively impact the health of the communities during re...
