 Sources, Occurrence, Trends and Pathways in the Physical Environment - Canadian Arctic Contaminants Assessment Report ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The chromatographic pattern of ΣCHBs in the Hanson Lake sediment is dominated by 2-exo, 3-endo,6-exo,8,9,10- hexachlorobornane (Hx-Sed or B6-923) and 2-endo, 3-exo,5-endo,6-exo,8,9,10-heptachlorobornane (Hp-Sed or B7-1001) (Stern et al., 1995; Andrews et al., 1995).
In the Watson and Fox Lake sediments, Hx- and Hp-Sed are the predominant CHB congeners in both cases suggesting contamination by a non-atmospheric source.
In Lake Laberge, Hx- and Hp-Sed are much more prevalent in the core slices representing the years 1972-1976 compared to the period of 1980 to 1991 but, do not predominate nearly to the same extent as observed in the sediments from Hanson, Fox, or Watson Lakes.

 A Preliminary Underwater Survey of Lake Laberge in the Vicinity of Deep Creek and Richtofen Island, Yukon
The findings of the EOD survey in Watson Lake in 1978 revealed a variety of ordinances that was left by the military either intentionally or by accident, some of it extremely large in size.
Information obtained from long time Whitehorse area residents about ordinance use at Lake Laberge indicates the south end of Richtofen Island was used for aerial bombing practice and that barrels, fixed targets and possibly other materials was used as targets out on the lake or on Richtofen Island for shore based gunnery practice.
The lake bottom survey has confirmed that offshore target practicing did occur at Lake Laberge and that 45 gallon barrels, probably used as floating targets, were used for gunnery practice from shore based positions.

 Organochlorines in remote environments
In 1990, tests of fish from Lake Laberge, on the Yukon River downstream from Whitehorse, revealed surprisingly high levels of toxaphene (an organochlorine pesticide), as well as PCBs in some specimens.
The small commercial fishery in the lake closed, and the nonnative domestic food fishery was reduced.
Research indicates that this variation is related to differences in the food webs of the lake and perhaps also to differences in climate and in the physical and chemical properties of the lakes.
