Synopsis of Research Conducted Under the 1994/95 Northern Contaminants Program
Of the results of research and monitoring studies on contaminants in northern Canada, conducted under the auspices of the Green Plan's Arctic Environmental Strategy/Northern Contaminants Program. The studies cover sources and transport of contaminants; contamination of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems; human exposure through diet and related health implications; communication and education of northern residents; and international initiatives addressing the global aspect of the problem. For each study, information is given on project leader and team, objective, rationale, description of study, activities in each of its operating years, and results.
Canadian Arctic Contaminants Assessment Report
The purpose of producing this report is to provide an evaluation of the current state of contamination in the Canadian Arctic environment.
Highlights of the Canadian Arctic Contaminants Assessment Report
This report was intended as a reference document for front-line community professionals dealing with contaminants issues and information in their communities. The report contains information on the Northern Contaminants Program (NCP), traditional diets, contaminants and wildlife, contaminants in food, health risks of contaminants, and areas of the Arctic that are contaminated.
Environmental Contaminants
The human footprint on the global environment now touches every corner of the world. This book explores the myriad ways that environmental archives can be used to study the distribution and long-term trajectories of chemical contaminants. The volume first focuses on reviews that examine the integrity of the historic record, including factors related to hydrology, post-depositional diffusion, and mixing processes. This is followed by a series of chapters dealing with the diverse archives and methodologies available for long-term studies of environmental pollution, such as the use of sediments, ice cores, sclerochronology, and museum specimens.
Long-term Environmental Change in Arctic and Antarctic Lakes
Concerns about the effects of global climate change have focused attention on the vulnerability of circumpolar regions. This book offers a synthesis of the spectrum of techniques available for generating long-term environmental records from circumpolar lakes.
Northern Lights Against POPs
Representatives of 111 nations gathered in Stockholm in May 2001 to sign a legally binding convention to eliminate or reduce emissions of pesticides, insecticides, and other industrial combustion by-products. Long-range transport by air and water carries many of these pollutants to the circumpolar north, where they threaten the health and cultural survival of Inuit and other northern Indigenous peoples.
Synopsis of Research Conducted Under the 2000/2001 Northern Contaminants Program
Of the results of research and monitoring studies on contaminants in northern Canada, conducted under the auspices of the Northern Contaminants Program. The studies cover human health effects & risk assessment, monitoring health of Arctic peoples, environmental monitoring & modelling, local contaminants, communication and education of northern residents, international policy, and program management. For each study, information is given on project leader and team, objective, rationale, description of study, activities in each of its operating years, and results.
