	TRIO \| Tracking dioxins to the Arctic - Fall 2000"
		Nunavut is an ideal region to test the model because of the absence of large local dioxin sources that might otherwise complicate an analysis of dioxins’ long-range transport.
		Nunavut is a relatively pristine region with few local dioxin sources, yet relatively high dioxin levels are found there.
		The relatively small contribution of Mexican sources to dioxin deposition in Nunavut compared to their larger share of the total North American dioxin emission inventory (30 percent) is in part a reflection of their greater distances from the receptor areas compared to US and Canadian sources.

	Our Stolen Future: Tracing dioxin in the Arctic back to its sources
		Even though there are no significant sources of dioxin there nor elsewhere within 500 kilometers of this arctic territory's boundary, dioxin concentrations in the breast milk of Inuit mothers living in Nunavut average twice the levels observed further south in Canada, near the US border.
		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.
