Metals Uptake from Vegetation to Caribou in the Canadian Arctic
Principal Investigator: Katz, Sharon
Licensed Year(s): 2007
Summary: The monitoring objectives of this project are: to conduct a targeted scientific program to analyze heavy metals and trace elements and stable isotopes in vegetation (caribou food); to correlate the results in vegetation with concentrations in caribou from a related NCP program [Gamberg 2006]; to test if contaminant patterns in caribou tissues will vary with patterns observed in lichen/moss, or wil...

Inuvik Regional Human Contaminants Monitoring Program
Principal Investigator: MacNeil, Chuck
Licensed Year(s): 2000 1999 1998
Summary: This study will serve to establish the types & levels of organochlorines and heavy metals in maternal and cord blood samples, and the level of mercury in hair samples from participants in the area served by the Inuvik Regional & Social Services Board. Sampling protocol has been outlined technical specialists in the field of organochlorine in blood and mercury in hair. Participating mothers deliver...

Food and habitat use among fishes of the Slave River, NWT.
Principal Investigator: Little, Alison
Licensed Year(s): 1995
Summary: The researchers will sample the fishes in three areas (below the rapids at Fort Smith, at the mouth of the Salt River, and in the delta) throughout the open-water season to monitor broad patterns of habitat distribution of the different species and different sizes/ ages of each species. Fish will be collected by use of multi-mesh gill nets, set lines and seines. Fish measurements, aging structu...

A Study of Polonium 210 and Lead 210 in Food Chains, Lichen-Caribou-Man and Lichen-Caribou-Wolf in Northern Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories
Principal Investigator: Thomas, Patricia
Licensed Year(s): 1991
Summary: The study will compare two arctic food chains, namely, lichen-caribou- wolf and lichen-caribou-human to investigate the accumulation and transfer of Polonium-210 and Lead-210. Background levels of radiation will be measured by collecting samples of lichen, caribou, wolf and human placenta....
