Spent lead shot in the western James Bay region of northern Ontario, Canada: Soil and plant chemistry of a heavily hunted wetland

This pilot study assessed elemental distribution of lead shot in a tidal marsh that has been used heavily for hunting for generations by First Nation Cree of the western James Bay region of northern Ontario, Canada. Soil and vegetation (live shoots and rhizomes separately) were sampled at 25 plots a...

Zusammenfassung:This pilot study assessed elemental distribution of lead shot in a tidal marsh that has been used heavily for hunting for generations by First Nation Cree of the western James Bay region of northern Ontario, Canada. Soil and vegetation (live shoots and rhizomes separately) were sampled at 25 plots along a 480-m transect. Metal content of lead shot affected soils was at background levels compared to soils of rural Ontario with Pb 7.4±0.9 μg/g; As 3.7±0.6 μg/g; Sb
