Environmental monitoring for industrial contaminants in Canada remains focused on identifying increased levels of individual agents that are currently regulated. Unfortunately, this creates meaningful gaps as we attempt to assess the impact of highly dynamic and evolving industries on our environment. This project will forge a new relationship between Caro Analytical Services and the University of Alberta, in an effort to bring a new level of resolution to environmental monitoring. Over 12-months, this project will see the first stage in the integration of a novel platform of biomonitoring tools into Caro's commercial lab services. This platform focuses on assessment of chemical contamination of water resources, and offers both a) an increased capacity for quantitative functional outputs, and b) an ability to assess combinatorial toxicity stemming from mixtures of contaminants.

加拿大对工业污染物的环境监测仍然侧重于查明目前受管制的个别制剂的增加水平。不幸的是，当我们试图评估高度动态和不断发展的行业对我们环境的影响时，这造成了有意义的差距。该项目将在卡罗分析服务公司和阿尔伯塔大学之间建立新的关系，努力将环境监测的分辨率提高到一个新的水平。在12个月的时间里，该项目将看到将生物监测工具的新平台整合到Caro的商业实验室服务中的第一阶段。该平台侧重于评估水资源的化学污染，并提供a）增加的定量功能输出能力，以及B）评估污染物混合物产生的组合毒性的能力。
