Canadians face an ever increasing number of potential health risks from environmental contaminants. Examples include lead in imported toys, bisphenol-a in household plastics, incidental ingestion of arsenic from mine tailings, and urban pollution from sources such as brownfield sites and automobile emissions. The government, scientists, and the public need to know the dangers that contaminated soil, water, air, foodstuffs, and consumer products pose to humans and the ecosystem and how to manage these risks to protect human and ecological health.

加拿大人面临着越来越多的环境污染物带来的潜在健康风险。例子包括进口玩具中的铅、家用塑料中的双酚-A、从尾矿中偶然摄入砷，以及棕地和汽车排放等来源造成的城市污染。政府、科学家和公众需要了解受污染的土壤、水、空气、食品和消费品对人类和生态系统造成的危险，以及如何管理这些风险以保护人类和生态健康。
