Key determinants of people’s exposure to chemical pollutants are: time-activity (where we spend time and what we do), interaction with indoor environments, diet, and occupation

Model suggests tree productivity in region may be enhanced through much of the 21st century as a result of improvement in the thermal regime and potentially an overall increase in available moisture

A clear majority of journalists said that there are many stories about the oil sands that go unreported and many of these unreported stories have to do with environmental issues

Research on wildlife species, used as either monitors, or indicator species, can provide early warning and predictive information regarding exposure and effects of contaminants from oil sands
