Articles about the Port Hope area, including Northumberland and Clarington. Most of these articles refer to the nuclear industry's legacy in the region.

The Low Level Radiation Campaign
Researching the effects of Low Level Ionising Radiation.
Demanding a re-evaluation of the risks from man-made fission products.
For 50 years the nuclear establishment has defended itself by claiming that its discharges are harmless.

But even the smallest amounts of man-made radioactivity can cause genetic damage leading to cancer, leukaemia, still birth, birth defects and other health problems which may only become apparent in future generations.
We are not necessarily talking about accidents - this is happening at levels of discharge which are legal and authorised. It is the biggest and longest running health scandal of all time.

The Low Level Radiation Campaign has been working since 1992 to expose it.
There are two main strands to the Campaign:

We show that the science underpinning the establishment view of radiation risk is deeply flawed.

If the science is wrong, then you'd expect health effects from radioactive pollution. We find them, and collect similar results from other researchers.

Great Lakes United

David Suzuki Foundation
Whenever Dr. Suzuki speaks to an audience about the importance of protecting nature, the question most often asked is, “What can I do?” Take the "Nature Challenge".
The David Suzuki Foundation has researched the 10 most effective ways
we can help conserve nature and improve our quality of life.
