  Ecological Risk Assessment
"The research projects being conducted under the MITE Research Network will closely align with the Canadian paradigm for ecological risk assessment as it applies to metals. The results of the research projects will feed into a Risk Characterisation to produce the following major products (in addition to the individual reports and publications that are normally produced as part of a scientific study):
  • a revaluation of the overall risk of metals in the global environment based on the new information gathered by the above noted studies, and incorporation of other relevant and appropriate studies conducted by other researchers (not restricted to Canada or to researchers or organizations with whom linkages have been developed)
  • a revised ecological risk assessment framework for metals in the environment, for both regional (e.g. Canadian Shield) and local risk assessments.

These two products, which integrate the results of the MITE Research Network, will be developed under the guidance of Dr. Peter Campbell (MITE RN, Research Director, Tel. 418-654-2538) and Dr. Peter Chapman (EVS Environment Consultants, North Vancouver, BC., Tel. 604-986-4331).
