Human Biomonitoring of nutrients and contaminants in First Nation Communities in Yukon and NWT

About the project

Several large-scale human biomonitoring projects have been conducted in Canada, including the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) and the First Nations Biomonitoring Initiative (FNBI). However, neither of these studies included participants living in the Yukon and Northwest Territories (NWT). To address this data gap, a human biomonitoring project was implemented in several Yukon and NWT communities.
