The presence and persistence of arsenic trioxide in soils around Giant Mine, NWT
Principal Investigator: Bromstad, Mackenzie J
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The objective of this project is to understand why arsenic trioxide (As3+) is still present in soils around Giant Mine, how long it will remain there, and if the set of circumstances leading to persistent As3+-rich soil may apply to any other places previously assumed to be As3+-free. In terms of current mine remediation, future human contact with the site, and ecosystem health, it needs to be und...

The Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity of Arsenic in Mine Waste Soils on the Earthworm (Eisenia fetida andrei)
Principal Investigator: Wong, Stephen
Licensed Year(s): 2001
Summary: The research team will examine soils which will be collected by DIAND Contaminants Division staff from Yellowknife. Approximately 20 kg of contaminated soil will be collected from a site close to the Con Mine. As well, approximately 80 kg of uncontaminated soil (for use as a reference soil) will be collected from a site adjacent to the Rae Highway. All soils will be returned to a laboratory at ...
