What are the levels of metals in the soil at other communities with a smelter?
In Falconbridge, Ontario, levels of arsenic in the soil were much higher than in Flin Flon. A comprehensive study testing the urine of residents of Falconbridge was done to determine their exposure to arsenic and it was found that there was no difference in urinary arsenic between Falconbridge residents and residents of a community with no smeltering plant and arsenic levels well below the national guidelines.
