Summary
A One Health paradigm, which recognizes the interconnectedness of animal, human, and environmental health, is a relevant approach for tackling the complex issues associated with environmental mercury contamination of northern ecosystems. This presentation will first focus on the exposure pathways and effects of mercury on populations of Arctic char in the Canadian High Arctic through the application of novel sampling and stable isotopic techniques. The presentation will then discuss how these approaches can be applied to other fish and wildlife, as well as humans.
