Example: "oral & ! doctoral & ( acute | ( occupational & ! university ))" will search for texts containing "oral" but not "doctoral" and either "acute" or "occupational", but "occupational" only if there is no occurence of "university".

Projects

>> Dry Deposition of Mercury to Natural Waters

Developing the analytical and measurement techniques necessary to estimate the atmospheric loading of mercury to sensitive, aquatic ecosystems.

>> Lake Superior Basin Project

This research program takes a holistic approach to understanding the sources and cycling of mercury in the Lake Superior Basin.

>> Multiscale Multimedia source to intake modeling

Creation of an adaptive multimedia model determining intake fractions at local (1km grid around the emission source), regional (200km grid within the continent of emission) and continental (world divided in continents) levels. Special emphasis is given to further develop modeling of exposure in the food chain linked to highest intake fractions and high level of uncertainties. This research builds up.. >> more

>> Trace Metals and Hazardous Algal Blooms in the Great Lakes

Environmental parameters including temperature, light and nutrients have been associated with cyanobacterial growth, hazardous algal blooms (HABs) and toxin production in marine and freshwater ecosystems. Our understanding of the influence of other factors, such as trace metals, on the growth of toxic algal species and their toxins production is very limited. This project combines addresses the growing.. >> more

>> USEtox: UNEP/SETAC toxicity model fo rthe comparative assessment of chemicals

Using the UNEP-SETAC toxicity model (USEtox), this project aims to recommended and interim characterisation factors for human health and freshwater ecotoxicity impacts. These developments that are essential for an improved comparative assessment of chemicals is carried out in direct collaboration with the model developers of CalTOX, IMPACT 2002, USES-LCA, BETR and EDIP.

>> Basu Lab - Research at the interface of human, wildlife, and ecosystem health

Leader: Niladri Basu (Ph.D.)

The Ecotoxicology Laboratory's research lies at the interface of human, wildlife, and ecosystem health. Our mandate is to better understand how neurotoxic pollutants affect our health by using traditional and innovative techniques. An eco-translational approach is taken whereby exposure-response-susceptibility relationships are studied at multiple tiers of biological organization (test tube - laboratory.. >> more
