Arsenic Legacy in Lake Bottom Sediments From Historic N.S. Mine Worries Researcher


Arsenic Legacy in Lake Bottom Sediments From Historic N.S. Mine Worries Researcher
HALIFAX Findings from a study describing the arsenic legacy left in lake−bottom sediments near an abandoned Halifax gold mine are setting off alarm bells for a senior cancer researcher.
A paper published Monday in the journal Science of the Total Environment says a dated core sample taken from the bottom of Lake Charles discovered arsenic at 4,960 milligrams per kilogram, more than 280 times higher than levels “where biological harm is expected.”
The site is downstream from the historic Montague mines, where successive gold rushes saw the creation of 121,000 tonnes of arsenic-rich tailings between the 1860s and 1940. ....

Halifax researcher studying effects of radon, arsenic exposure


Dellaire said the radioactive gas tends to accumulate in the lower levels of homes and can reach dangerous levels in some cases, which can be a risk for families that spend time in their basements.
A lot of people have their exercise equipment, particularly during COVID-19 lockdown, where you might be in the basement exercising and breathing in large volumes of air, he said. 
Developing a new testing method
The study has received funding from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation.
Dellaire said a third of the funding will be used to develop a new method of radon testing.
That work is being undertaken by the study s co-lead, Aaron Goodarzi, an assistant professor in the department of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Calgary. ....

A national study led by researchers in Halifax is looking at the effects of radon gas and arsenic exposure on the human body and examining ways the knowledge gained can assist health policy in Canada.
Dr. Graham Dellaire, a professor in Dalhousie University’s department of pathology, is leading a team of experts from across the country in examining the two primary environmental exposure carcinogens that affect people’s risk of getting cancer. ....
