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.

更新的AVITOX主席提出了一项开创性和独特的研究计划，该计划将调查鸟类的饮食和非饮食来源，生物转化和暴露相关的优先新兴污染物对健康的影响，尽管它们在世界范围内大量使用，但没有全球法规存在。拟议的研究将提供关于新化学品在环境中的命运和毒性的新知识，最终可能在监管层面上产生影响，以保护加拿大和国际上敏感的生态系统和野生动物的健康。此外，它还代表了一个独特的学生在生态毒理学、空间生态学、生物能量学、分析化学和内分泌学等新方面的培训机会。
