Citing one example (Coral Harbour, Nunavut), they observe that "total exposure to dioxin could be reduced by 35 percent if only 19 individual source--most of them in the United States--could be induced to virtually eliminate their emissions."
They found that most of the sources of dioxin reaching the territory Nunavut lie in the United States, indeed approximately 70-80% is US-produced.
They conclude that "the known occurrence of dioxin in Nunavut--in the indigenous population, in the regional food chains, and in marine and terrestrial ecosystems--is due to the deposition of dioxin transported from distant sources, which are chiefly in the United States, to a lesser extent in Canada, and marginally in Mexico.
