Their exposure to bio-magnified substances, such as OCs, is thus proportionally high. Several studies have identified markedly higher concentrations of OCs in adult blood, umbilical cord blood, and breast milk of Nunavik inhabitants compared with those of the southern Québec population (Ayotte et al. 1997, 2003; Dewailly et al. 1989, 1993, 1998; Muckle et al. 1998, 2001; Rhainds et al. 1999).","tracks":[]}
