AREAS OF RESEARCH INTEREST Research focuses on identification and determination of food packaging organic chemicals (e.g., phthalates, bisphenol A) and other volatile organic chemical contaminants occurring in the Canadian food supply in order to determine human exposure to these chemicals. Major activities are the development of methods of analysis for such chemicals in various food samples, conduct of targeted surveys (e.g., benzene in soft drinks, bisphenol A in canned liquid infant formula, canned soft drinks and other canned foods) and analysis of samples from the national surveys (e.g., the Total Diet Study, human milk survey) to determine the levels of these chemicals in foods, and migration studies of organic chemicals (e.g., phthalates, bisphenol A) from food packaging materials into foods. Gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are used for analysis following sample extractions with various techniques (e.g., solvent extraction, solid phase extraction, solid-phase microextraction (SPME), headspace).
