Community-based Bird Harvesting Workshops in the Sahtu for PFAS analysis
Principal Investigator: Laird, Brian D
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5530. to evaluate the current PFAS level in birds harvested in the Sahtu region, and to estimate the human exposure patterns to PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) through game bird consumption. 1) The research team will do a series of community-based bird-harvesting workshops to build local capacity and facilitat...

Contaminant Biomonitoring in the Northwest Territories Mackenzie Valley: Investigating the Links Between Contaminant Exposure, Nutritional Status, and Country Food Use
Principal Investigator: Laird, Brian D
Licensed Year(s): 2018 2016
Summary: The overall objective of this research is to promote country foods in the Dehcho Region in a way that balances contaminant risks and nutrient benefits in order to maximize nutrient status while minimizing mercury exposure. The research team will work towards this objective through the implementation of research that will consist of the biomonitoring study to evaluate country food usage patterns, c...

Assessment of Toxaphene Intake by Mackenzie River Community Residents, NWT
Principal Investigator: Kuhnlein, Harriet V
Licensed Year(s): 1988
Summary: In response to an earlier study that was requested by the Dene Nation on contaminants in loche and whitefish, Health and Welfare Canada and other agencies are sponsoring this study to find out what amounts of contaminants people are eating. Dr. Harriet Kuhnlein and assistants will be asking people what foods they eat and how much. Renewable Resource officers will collect samples of wild foods fo...
