Documenting Spatial and Temporal Variations of Subsurface Contaminates Using Tree Cores: Implications for the Design of Effective Waste Management Strategies
Proper waste management has become a worldwide humanitarian topic, because of increased awareness of potential risks posed by unsound waste disposal to human health and the environment (El-Fadel et al., 1997; Rowe et al., 1997). In remote communities in Canada’s North, here defined as the part north...
