EnTox's strengths focus on undertaking multidisciplinary research directed at environmental health issues arising from exposure to environmental substances. This approach places major emphasis on environmental health risk assessment as the basis for research and training needs. Research areas include: 

Assessment of Sources Identifying and assessing the sources and origins of persistent organic pollutants and metalloids in soil, water, air and biota Monitoring Measuring the environmental concentration of organics, metals and metalloids in various matrices.  Environmental Fate of Pollutants Evaluating the environmental pathways, processes and fate of pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, metals and metalloids.  Exposure Evaluation Evaluating exposure concentrations, pathways, frequency and duration to potentially toxic substances.  Toxicity Evaluation and Health Effects Characterizing the impact of pollutants on human and environmental health using a range of in-vivo and in-vitro methodology.  Risk Characterisation Determining the risk probability and its magnitude in order to provide information for further management decision  Remediation and Intervention Providing environmentally sustainable in-situ remediation technologies and effective intervention programs for management of site contamination.  Education and Training Providing education for students and professionals in environmental risk assessment and related multidisciplinary research via a series of information sharing and training avenues.
