Abstract: 

This thesis investigates lake sediment geochemistry from regions in Northeastern Ontario from the areas around Gowganda, Temagami and Cobalt. The environmental legacy of the Cobalt mining camp represents an area that has been extremely impacted by arsenic-rich mine waste. The primary objectives of this thesis were to determine the magnitude and spatial extent of arsenic contamination in Cobalt, ON, and to investigate realistic background concentrations of arsenic for the region.
