The renewed AVITOX Chair proposes a pioneering and distinctive research program that will investigate in birds the dietary and non-dietary sources, biotransformation, and exposure-related health impacts of priority emerging contaminants for which no global regulations exist despite their massive usage worldwide. The proposed research will provide new knowledge on the fate and toxicity of novel chemicals in the environment that may ultimately have an impact at the regulatory level to protect sensitive ecosystems and wildlife health in Canada and internationally. Furthermore, it represents a unique student training opportunity in novel aspects of ecotoxicology, spatial ecology, bioenergetics, analytical chemistry, and endocrinology.

新的Avitox主席提出了一项开创性和独特的研究计划，该计划将在鸟类中调查饮食和非态度来源，生物转化以及与暴露有关的健康相关的健康影响，即优先新兴的污染物，尽管在全球范围内使用了大量使用，但不存在全球法规。拟议的研究将为环境中新型化学物质的命运和毒性提供新的知识，这些知识最终可能会在监管水平上产生影响，以保护加拿大和国际上的敏感生态系统和野生动植物健康。此外，它代表了生态毒理学，空间生态学，生物能学，分析化学和内分泌学的新颖方面的独特学生培训机会。
