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...
