National Research Program

National Scientific Network

Scientific Members

Our scientific members includes over 65 researchers at 17 Canadian universities, as well as 7 other Canadian institutes and 8 International university/institutes working in numerous disciplines such as toxicology, respiratory health, epidemiology, agricultural engineering and many more. Our research agenda includes four core areas: What we breathe (inhalation exposures), What we eat and drink (food safety and water quality), How we work (safety and noise), and How we live (rural development and health issues).
