Assessment of Potential Health Risk of Reported Soil Levels in Port Colborne and Vicinity 1997
Description: This evaluation of health effects was undertaken to determine whether there is any evidence of risk to human health associated with exposures to nickel, copper or cobalt, in the soils of the Port Colborne area. This was done in two ways. Firstly, a site-specific risk assessment was undertaken to determine the potential health effects which may result from current exposures in the Port Colborne area. Secondly, population health was evaluated to determine if there is any evidence of increased disease incidence in the Port Colborne area compared with the rest of Ontario.
