Description
Because methylmercury is a known neurotoxin and can accumulate in the body over time, it is necessary to limit human exposure. From 2009 to 2013, the Departments of Environment and Parks and Health initiated a survey of mercury levels in fish in selected water bodies in Alberta which are extensively accessed by the public for recreational activities. Environment Canada sampled and tested fish from Alberta lakes for mercury during the same time period. The results of these analyses are included and discussed in this report.
