Health Effects Monitoring Program
Principal Investigator: Chan, Laurie H. M.
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5380. The Health Effects Monitoring Program (YKHEMP) begun in 2017 with the main objective to establish a baseline of contaminant exposure and possible health effects in Yellowknife, Ndilo and Dettah, NWT, to ensure the Giant Mine Remediation Project (GMRP) does not negatively impact the health of the communities during rem...

Perception of Risk from Environmental Contamination in Yellowknife, NT
Principal Investigator: Aitken, Alec E.
Licensed Year(s): 2018
Summary: The objectives of this research project are 1) to discover what knowledge residents have about local environmental contamination; 2) to discover what local residents believe about the risks to themselves and their families of living near areas of environmental contamination; and 3) assess the adequacy and effectiveness of information programs designed to provide information to the public concernin...

Measuring Changes to Persistent Organic Pollutant Bioavailability from Preparing Marine Mammal Blubber for Human Consumption
Principal Investigator: Wania, Frank
Licensed Year(s): 2014
Summary: The objectives of this research project are: 1. to investigate the impact of common preparation methods on the concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids and environmental contaminants in beluga muktuk; 2. to determine if phase separation in beluga muktuk causes oil and solid phases to have significantly different omega-3 fatty acid and contaminant levels; and 3. to suggest possible beluga muktuk co...

Monitoring and Surveillance of Water Borne Diseases in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region: Adaptating to a Changing Climate in the North
Principal Investigator: Chatwood, Susan
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The study will seek to describe the baseline measurements required for ongoing surveillance and monitoring of soil, water and human health outcomes in the ISR. Pilot water testing will be set up in water sources for ISR communities and identify and describe microbes and contaminants that are present. Based on the microbes and contaminants present in the water sources of the ISR, the researcher pla...
