Christine Moore has over 26 years of experience in human health, environmental toxicology and risk assessment.  She is the Senior Project Manager and Senior Technical Lead of all work conducted in the Atlantic region by Intrinsik Corp.  She has extensive experience in the assessment of aquatic and atmospheric emissions from industrial operations from a multitude of industrial sectors (mining and smelting; power generation; oil and gas; pulp and paper). She works with government, industrial companies, and First Nations, providing scientific advice, guidance, toxicology and risk assessment services to enhance the understanding of the potential for impacts associated with anthropogenic chemical releases.  She has led multiple high profile community-based human and ecological risk assessments of metals contaminated sites and areas potentially affected by airborne industrial emissions.  In addition to the assessments of legacy issues associated with historic industrial operations, Christine has extensive experience in characterizing ecological and human health risks associated with proposed new facilities, through the Environmental Impact Assessment process, and conducts studies in the occupational health area, focusing on toxicological reviews of various substances, as well as the development of a risk ranking system for worker exposures.  Over the past 26 years her work has included evaluations of a variety of different substances, including criteria air contaminants, metals in the environment, chlorinated dioxins and furans, PCBs, petroleum hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds, and has provided extensive support to legal counsels on environmental issues related to historic contamination cases.  Notably, her work has provided focus for environmental monitoring programs at many facilities.
