 Profile

As Australia’s National Research Centre for Environmental Toxicology, we strive to provide leading-edge science to improve human health through a healthy environment.

To improve the health of people and that of the environment in which they live by:

• generating new knowledge on the sources, fate, exposure, and effects of environmental contaminants and natural toxins in our environment;
• using the knowledge gained to develop and apply improved tools and methodologies for assessing the risk caused to humans and the environment, and for minimisation of potential risk;
• providing information that facilitates risk management through consultation, and in collaboration with stakeholders including regulators, communities and industry; and
• providing education and training in environmental toxicology and risk assessment.
