Naturalist: For several years, coyote have had a robust population throughout the Susquehanna National Forest  Over the past seven years, the Canic Chemical Corporation in nearby Harrisville has been releasing low levels of bromide compounds into the air and groundwater  Some of these compounds, in sufficient concentrations, are suspected of compromising the immune systems of young coyote  A recent study over the entire forest established that 30% of young coyote did not survive their first year of life
Clearly, the bromide compounds released by Canic pose a direct threat to the well-being of coyote in the forest
Have significant levels of these bromide compounds been measured in the blood of other mammals in the forest.
