People in mainland China and the Global South suffer the brunt of emissions of toxic chemicals from consumer goods used in more-developed countries, according to a new study.

A new study by U of T Scarborough&#039;s Myrna Simpson shows how low levels of pollution can disrupt communication, via &quot;info-chemcials,&quot; between water fleas and other species

Myrna Simpson - Pollution disrupts water fleas' 'chemical conversations'

March 09, 2021

Researchers at the University of Toronto have shown that pollution can disrupt the “chemical conversations” water fleas rely on to communicate with other species.

Researchers at U of T Scarborough help isolate salmon-killing chemical in car tires

December 11, 2020

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
