Unfit to eat A new report shows that up to half of the Inuit
women in the Canadian Arctic consume toxic pollutants in excess of
international safety limits. The toxins are concentrated in the
seals, whales and fish that they eat, and the main source of the
pollutants is Russia. Russia has not yet signed the UN agreement to
reduce emission of organic pollutants. The contaminants are carried
to the North by winds and water currents and work their way into
the food chain. 26 SEPTEMBER 1998, P. 13
