Canadian Total Diet Study - Mercury (Hg) 1998, 2000

Mercury is a naturally occurring element that is also present in the environment as a result of human activities. Water bodies can be contaminated with mercury from industrial sources, such as pulp and paper mills, and from the soil when large reservoirs are created by hydro-electric dams.  Methyl mercury is considered the most toxic form of mercury to human health and is formed when bacteria interact with mercury present in water and plants.  Methyl mercury accumulates up the food chain, and predatory fish generally represent the main source of exposure from the diet.   Very high prenatal exposure to methyl mercury may have adverse effects on child neurodevelopment based on evidence from historical methyl mercury poisoning incidents following consumption of contaminated food (bread in Iraq, fish in Minamata Bay Japan) and epidemiological studies of populations with high dietary methyl mercury exposure from consumption of marine mammals or large predatory fish. Health-based guideline values for methyl mercury in hair and blood have been established to monitor individual and population-level exposure, and to establish maximum levels (MLs) for mercury in retail fish. These guideline values help Canadians maintain their exposure to methyl mercury within safe levels. Surveys of total and methyl mercury in retail fish are conducted, as needed, to assess dietary exposure to mercury and ensure the continued applicability of the Canadian MLs and consumption advice for mercury in fish sold in Canada species. If a potential concern to human health is identified, immediate and appropriate action will be taken.

Canadian Total Diet Study - Ochratoxin A (OTA) 2008-2009

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a natural toxin produced by fungal species in the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium. This naturally occurring toxin can be found in a broad group of agricultural products such as cereal grains, coffee, and fruits. Higher levels of OTA can result from the improper storage of grains in moist conditions. Ochratoxin A is a toxic fungal metabolite that may cause nephrotoxic, teratogenic, immunosuppressive and carcinogenic effects in many species. It also causes porcine nephropathy and has been implicated in the etiology of Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN), a chronic degenerative kidney disease associated with a high incidence of urinary tract tumours in humans. Ochratoxin A is one of the most potent renal carcinogens, inducing cancer in rats at very low doses.   If a potential concern to human health is identified, immediate and appropriate action will be taken.

Canadian Total Diet Study - Bisphenol A (BPA) 2008-2012, 2016

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical used in the production of polycarbonate (PC) and epoxy resins. PC is used in food storage containers such as water bottles, and epoxy resins are used in the internal coating for food and beverage cans to protect the food from direct contact with metal. Under certain conditions, small amounts of BPA can migrate from PC plastic containers and cans with epoxy coating into foods, especially at elevated temperatures. BPA is an endocrine disruptor, and mimics the action of the hormone estrogen, although its potency is orders of magnitude lower than endogenous estrogens. 

BPA has been shown to cause negative health effects in animal studies, however, humans metabolize BPA differently than rodents and there are uncertainties related to the human relevance of these findings. Due to consumer concerns and initiatives by Health Canada, industry has already abandoned or phased out the use of BPA-containing packaging for liquid infant formula, and early results suggest that concentrations of BPA in some canned foods have decreased. If a potential concern to human health is identified, immediate and appropriate action will be taken.

Canadian Total Diet Study - DEHA, DEHP and other Phthalates 2011, 2013, 2014 (2015A)

DEHA
Di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) is widely used as a plasticizer in food contact materials, such as PVC food wrapping or cling films used to rewrap meat poultry, fish, cheese, and other foods. DEHA can also be found in PVC gaskets of lids for glass jars. Like other plasticizers, DEHA is not chemically bound to the polymer and has been found at very low levels in foods due to migration from the cling films. Repeated oral exposure to DEHA may be associated with liver, kidney, reproductive, and developmental effects. Although an adequate margin of safety exists for current exposure to DEHA via foods, Health Canada conducts targeted surveys of DEHA in foods to better define Canadian exposure to DEHA through dietary intake. If a potential concern to human health is identified, immediate and appropriate action will be taken.


Phthalates are a group of diesters of phthalic acid (dialkyl or alkyl aryl esters of 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid). Higher molecular weight phthalates, such as di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), are primarily used as plasticizers to soften polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products, while low molecular weight phthalates, such as di-ethyl phthalate (DEP), may be used in various consumer and personal care products. Some phthalates are also used in food contact materials, such as DEHP in PVC gaskets of lids for glass bottles and jars, PVC cling films, and PVC milk tubing, and low levels can migrate from food contact materials into foods, especially fatty foods, since phthalates are not chemically bound to the polymer. The human health effects of DEHP and other phthalates include potential developmental and reproductive effects as well as effects on the liver and kidneys. The levels of exposure associated with these health effects are much higher than current Canadian exposure levels to DEHP and other phthalates and therefore, the human health risks from these substances is considered low. Surveillance results indicate that DEHP levels in various foods have decreased over the last few decades. Health Canada continues to monitor the levels of DEHP and other phthalates to ensure that exposure from food remain within acceptable levels. Although an adequate margin of safety exists for current exposure to DEHP and other phthalates via foods, if a potential concern to human health is identified, immediate and appropriate action will be taken.

Historical Pesticide Applications for Forest Insect Pests from 1968 to 2017, in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland ad Labrador, Canada.

We have digitized the historical pesticide applications to the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia for the years 1968 to 2017. During the years covered in the dataset, 88% of forested land (4 567 148 hectares) on the island of Newfoundland, 0.6% of forested (112 896 hectares) in Labrador, and 14% of forested land (598 142 hectares) in Nova Scotia received at least one application of an insecticide. During the years included in the dataset 7 pesticides, including aminocarb and fenitrothion, were applied. The manuscript details a general history of the historical spray program and describes the dataset which includes pesticide active ingredient, application rate, spatial location of spray blocks, and other ancillary information. Such data may be used for comparing decision making among jurisdictions that undertook large and small aerial application programs, studies of efficacy of different insect control strategies, long-term, non-target ecological effects, and serve as a historical record of past pesticide applications to forested areas.

Observed Basin-Average Accumulated Precipitation (HRDPA - Past 1 day, 3 days & 7 days)

This polygon layer depicts sub-basin average observed precipitation from the High Resolution Deterministic Precipitation Analysis (HRDPA). Offers insight into how much rain/snow actually fell across each watershed in the past observation period. Observation periods we are interested are for past 1 day, 3 days and 7 days.  
  
  HRDPA is ECCC’s high-resolution precipitation analysis, merging gauge, radar, and HRDPS model data. This layer aggregates the final (or preliminary) HRDPA accumulations to sub-basin polygons. Each record indicates the average precipitation that truly occurred over each watershed, vital for verifying model forecasts, calibrating hydrological models, and conducting post-event analyses of flood or drought severity.

Great Lakes Nearshore Waters Assessment

Water quality and ecosystem health data used to conduct a cumulative effects assessment of Canadian Great Lakes nearshore waters in support of the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement are included in this dataset.  The data was collected by various government and non-government agencies and organizations and integrated into this dataset to allow the assessment to be conducted.  By conducting a regular, systematic assessment of cumulative effects in the nearshore waters of the Great Lakes Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) is able to identify areas of high quality and areas under stress.  Knowledge of ecological thresholds,  other Great Lakes assessments, stressor information, indicators and local and traditional ecological knowledge will be used to aid in: 1) the identification and mapping of high quality nearshore areas and areas that are or may become subject to high stress and; 2) the determination of factors and cumulative effects that are causing stress or threats.  Cumulative effects impacting the nearshore and future threats to areas of high ecological value will be better understood and the knowledge shared will assist in priority setting for science and management at a meaningful and practical spatial scale within each Great Lake and connecting channel.
