The Good, the Bad and the Toxic

National Research Council Canada

In 1987, National Research Council of Canada (NRC) scientists worked around the clock to ﬁnd out why three Canadians had died and hundreds became sick after eating mussels. The villain, a rare toxin produced by algae, was traced to a single area of Prince Edward Island. Ever since, NRC has helped Canadian food inspectors ensure that popular seafood is safe to eat. Now, NRC is developing advanced tools to provide early warnings of toxic algae before shellﬁsh become contaminated. In 2002, NRC’s
