Laboratories

A leading research group in environmental analytical chemistry and environmental toxicology

Some of the more than 100 million chemicals produced by humans continue to threaten ecosystems and human health. Rapidly increasing exposure to a wide range of chemicals has drawn attention as a potential cause of many diseases. Although more than 5,000 chemicals are registered for industrial use each day, information about their safety for ecosystems and people, and how to manage them, remains limited. The Human & Ecology Analytical Laboratory (HEAL) studies the environmental fate and bioaccumulation of chemicals from an integrated environmental, ecological and human-health perspective. We assess the effects of environmental pollutants on ecosystems and people. Using advanced analytical techniques for precise and accurate chemical measurements, we aim to evaluate chemical risks and develop strategies to manage them.
