In response to a Radio-Canada report yesterday on increased nickel concentration in the air in the Lowertown area of Quebec City, the union representing Port of Quebec longshore workers has stated it is quite probable that replacement workers at the Port are the reason. Longshore workers have been locked out since September 15, 2022, and ever since that date, untrained replacement workers or managerial employees have been handling nickel.

    We need a little nickel in a balanced diet. But, too much is not good… and it’s not to be taken in from our lungs !
