What we're seeing is that the mercury levels immediately adjacent to our community are dropping over time, but it also seems that the sediment is resuspending and moving further downriver into the Quebec portion towards Montreal. We don't know how much of it is redepositing further downstream versus, in our area, being covered up by other, cleaner sediments.
Nous constatons que les niveaux de mercure dans les zones adjacentes à celle de notre collectivité chutent au fil du temps, mais il semble également que les sédiments se déplacent et se remettent en suspension en aval, dans les eaux québécoises qui s'écoulent vers Montréal.
