2021/10/18 12pm
There were 13 new advisories issued since Friday: 4 in SK, 7 in QC, 2 in BC.
Nunavut Advisory Map
In Nunavut, in Iqaluit, the Department of Health has now confirmed the presence of elevated hydrocarbons at the water treatment plant. According to the Nunavut Chief Public Health Officer,
of the six sites tested, "the North Clear Well holding tank at the water treatment plant revealed levels of contamination that could cause harm if the water is consumed. However, water in the
treated reservoir which is the last point before water delivery, showed levels below what would cause health risks if consumed." The Department of Health also stated "it is unlikely there
will be health impacts to consuming the water for the past week and the level of hydrocarbons identified in the water cannot be absorbed through the skin." The DNC Advisory remains in effect.
