What will be done about the elevated levels of metals in Sudbury? What are the next steps?
All of the community partners in the Sudbury Soils Study (including the City of Greater Sudbury, the Ministry of the Environment, the Sudbury and District Health Unit, Health Canadas First Nations & Inuit Health Branch, Inco Ltd., and Falconbridge Ltd.) agree that conducting comprehensive human health and ecological risk assessments is a necessary and logical next step to confirm that this is also the case for Sudbury. The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not further action is necessary, and if so, where and what action that should be.
