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...
