Abstract

In view of the levels of human exposure to priority contaminants assessed in previous surveys in Nunavik, a series of risk reduction scenarios were produced to modelize the effects of different potential health advisories on limiting exposure of women of reproductive age to these contaminants, as well as on maximizing nutritional benefits derived from the consumption of country food. This paper presents part of the results, in particular as regards effects of reducing PCB intake by 46%, 65% and 86%.
