Operation BOXTOP is the bi-annual resup- ply of Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Alert and Fort Eureka, and typically takes place in spring and late summer each year. CFS Alert provides year round strategic communications support to the Canadian Armed Forces and other defence partners. Due to its remote location on the north east- ern tip of , CFS Alert re- quires resupply by air to sustain its inhabit- ants throughout the winter.

Stay Safe around Solvents

olvents are such common and useful substances, Soften we don’t realize we are using and misusing them. They can have serious safety and health hazards, however, so use extreme caution with solvents whether in large or small quantities. A solvent is any substance used to dissolve another substance. They are commonly used in metal degreas- ing, parts cleaning, dry cleaning and painting. Most industrial solvents evaporate fast, and some are ammable. Their vapors in the air create explosion haz- ards as well as health problems if they are breathed in.

• If you breathe in too much solvent vapor, you may experience temporary symptoms including irrita- tion to your nose and throat, nausea, dizziness, and headache. Inhaling solvent vapors can even cause you to stop breathing. • Long-term effects of breathing in solvents can cause permanent damage to your internal organs and nervous system including your brain. • A splash of solvent in your eyes can create symp- toms ranging from temporary burning and irrita- tion to permanent damage to your vision. • Solvent contact is not good for your skin, either. Because solvents are degreasers, they remove the natural oils from your skin, causing it to become cracked, dry and irritated. • Long-term solvent exposure can cause contact der- matitis, a chronic, painful condition of blistered, irritated and infected skin.
