Description: A federal-provincial study with participation by a number of government agencies has been ongoing on the Cornwall Island Reserve (Mohawks of Awkwesasne) since 1975. Before that, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment had been conducting annual vegetation assessment programs and responding to complaints concerning the adverse effects of airborne fluoride emissions on vegetation and cattle since 1969. The source of the fluoride emissions was identified as the Reynolds Metal Co. in Massena, New York. This report presents the results of the most recent investigations.
