AB  - Studies conducted in the mid-1980s and early 1990s demonstrated that persistent 
      organic pollutants (POPs) and metals were reaching the Arctic ecosystem at 
      unexpectedly high levels, many of which had no Arctic or Canadian sources. 
      Epidemiological and toxicological studies in Canada and in other countries have 
      found that these contaminants may pose a risk to human health. The objective of 
      this paper is to provide the foundation for the discussion on future northern 
      human health research under the Northern Contaminants Program (NCP) in Canada. 
      This short discussion of human health priorities will help guide a path forward 
      for future northern human health research in Canada to address on-going and new 
      health concerns related to contaminants exposure in the Canadian Arctic.
