Geochemistry of lakes across ecozones in the Northwest Territories and implications for the distribution of arsenic in the Yellowknife region. Part 1, Sediments / J.M. Galloway, M. Palmer, H.E. Jamieson,...: M183-2/7908E-PDF
"We obtained near total element geochemistry on 211 near-surface sediment samples from lakes along a transect across the Western Interior Platform to the central portion of the Slave Geological Province with a focus near the City of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, to document regional concentrations of arsenic (As) and other elements in lake sediments. Concentrations of major and trace elements, including elements of potential human and ecological concern (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn), were extracted from sediments using a modified aqua regia digestion. Concentrations of As exceed Canadian federal guidelines for the protection of aquatic life in most of the lakes sampled in the Slave Geological Province"--Abstract, page 3.
