Description

The Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) Wildlife Monitoring and Surveillance Program is a long-established federal initiative that evaluates contaminant exposure in terrestrial and aquatic-associated wildlife across Canada. Biological samples, collected throughout the years from various locations nationwide, are preserved in long-term specimen banks under controlled conditions. These stored samples support retrospective analyses and ongoing research funded by federally mandated programs, such as the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA) and the CMP. Specimens are analyzed for a wide range of chemicals of concern under these programs, including trace metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
