The Toxicology Centre at the University of Saskatchewan
coordinates and conducts research on a broad range of toxi-
cological and ecotoxicological issues. Research activities have
included projects in analytical toxicology, aquatic toxicology,
ecotoxicology, immunotoxicology, nutritional toxicology, radi-
ation toxicology, veterinary toxicology, and wildlife toxicology.
Specific projects have focused on pesticides and metals in
animals and the environment, chronic toxicity of pulp mill
effluent, ecological effects of uranium mining, indoor air
quality, and the safety of feeds and foods.
A new Aquatic Toxicology Research Facility (ATRF) provides a unique infrastructure dedicated to research on the effects of chemical pollutants and other stressors on aquatic organisms and ecosystems. This is the only facility of its type in Canada and one of only a few in the world, and allows the U of S to pursue its goal of becoming the national and international leader in aquatic toxicology research and training. The new 440 m2 facility is part of and substantially enhances the existing Toxicology Centre on the U of S campus, along with an additional 320 m2 of new, accompanying research laboratory space for analytical and biochemical assessment of test organisms, and related molecular toxicology research.
The ATRF is unique in its capacity to simultaneously accommodate multiple aquatic toxicology research projects requiring very different species, water quality and experimental conditions. The facility consists of separate areas for animal culturing and experimentation (chemical exposure), and for the pre- and post-treatment of water.
