个人简介
My research is relevant to the ecological risk assessment of PACs from oil, coal tar, creosote, soot and the by-products of microbial degradation of resin acids from pulp mill effluents. I have also assessed: the transfer of mercury from point sources and contaminated sediments through aquatic food webs of the St. Lawrence River; the contamination of St. Lawrence River sediments by pesticides used at EXPO 67; and the potential role of chemical contamination in the declining abundance of American eel in Lake Ontario.
My most recent research investigated the role of hyporheic flows in transporting oil droplets from surface waters of rivers into porous bed sediments where fish spawn. Funded by NSERC and supported by Environment Canada and Northwest Hydraulics Inc, it was an interdisciplinary and collaborative project with Ana daSilva (CIVL), Stephen Brown (CHEM, SES), Kevin Mumford (CIVL) and Allison Rutter (ASE, SES). Hyporheic flows are currents of water that move through porous gravel sediments due to pressure gradients caused by the flow of rivers over uneven bottom features of rivers. Julie Adams (PhD, Environmental Studies) assessed the toxicity to fish embryos of petroleum hydrocarbons that dissolve from stranded oil droplets in sediments. She developed laboratory models of river sediments contaminated by oil droplets and demonstrated that PACs released from oil were bioavailable to trout at concentrations that are embryotoxic (See Adams et al 2021).
