Uranium bedrock is located in these areas of NS. “At the levels of uranium detected in some bedrock aquifers in Nova Scotia (>20 μg/L), long-term ingestion of well water from these aquifers can cause kidney disease. About 42% of Nova Scotians are supplied by private wells and these water sources are not monitored or regulated with respect to water quality. Effective communication of the health risks associated with the ingestion of uranium in drinking water from private wells is critical for reducing uranium exposure and protecting human health.”
