加拿大境內兩座鉛精鍊廠其中一座位於新布倫瑞克村的廠房,遭受當地環保團體保育委員會批評,指出該省居民並未被完善告知其存在將對健康有危害的風險。該組織歷經3年的時間,調查政府處理沙勒爾灣貝勒頓港這座大西洋深水港的污染事件,發現了這個情況。

The Conservation Council of New Brunswick on Thursday released the results of a three year investigation into government handling of contamination in the town of Belledune, on New Brunswick’s Bay of Chaleur, a deep water port on the Atlantic Ocean.
