"Total mercury (Hg) concentration was measured in 175 near-surface sediment samples from 169 lakes in the central Northwest Territories. The lakes are located west and southwest of the City of Yellowknife in the Western Interior Platform, near the City of Yellowknife, east and southeast of the City of Yellowknife along the Ingraham Trail (Highway 4), and northeast of the City of Yellowknife along the Tibbitt to Contwoy to Winter Road. Total Hg in the sediment samples ranges from 3 to 317 μg.kg⁻¹. The sediments sampled from lakes in the Western Interior Platform had significantly lower sedimentary Hg concentrations than the other regions"--Project summary, page 1.
