Very exciting news with Canada formally recognising Indigenous Science. They have created a new Indigenous Science Division headed up by Dr Myrle Ballard. Big congrats to all involved in this wonderful initiative. - Science.gc.ca science.gc.ca/eic/site/063.n…

We suggest that we’re outside the safe operating space of a new planetary boundary for #PFAS in a new perspective in Environmental Science & Technology Journals pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

#PFAS concentrations exceeded their planetary boundary. Why? 💧Concentrations in rain exceed toxic thresholds 💧No dilution to #PFAS pollution 💧Global water sources & soil are essentially irreversibly contaminated because of rain 💧 Emissions still occur #restrictPFAS👇

We propose a new approach to long-range transport potential assessment which could reduce the risk of false positives / negatives.

Today on International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, we celebrate the unique & diverse cultures of Indigenous Peoples across the Arctic. We thank our Indigenous Permanent Participants for their invaluable contributions & active participation in the Council & beyond.

How have halogenated flame retardant levels changed in air, precipitation, fish and gull eggs in #LakeOntario in the last 20 years? What are their sources and loading? See our new paper: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… ECCC SciTech #CMP #GreatLakes

Emerging flame retardant TBECH found widely dispersed in air, water and precipitation in Canada despite no evidence for its import, use and production in Canada; likely due to release from imported goods.doi.org/10.5194/acp-23… ECCC SciTech Wania Group

Our air quality scientists travelled to Alert, Nunavut, to collect ice from the Arctic Ocean and an inland lake to study how changing sea ice conditions will alter how contaminants disperse. #CdnSci

Interviewed by Phillip Semigak at the radio station in Nain, Nunatsiavut with Sandy Steffen Alexandra Steffen to talk about contaminants in Arctic air under #NCP, partnering with Nunatsiavut Research Center ECCC SciTech

POLAR collaborates with Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) scientists to measure contaminants in the air in Cambridge Bay under the Northern Contaminants Program. Our POLAR Field Technicians go out on the land to verify the equipment and take the measurements!
