Jan 1990 - PresentI am an expert in environmental human health risk assessment. Risk assessment is a multi-disciplinary process drawing from chemistry, physics, engineering, statistics, biology, biochemistry, toxicology, and IT which aims to balance the desire for a clean environment, with the need for industrial and technological development and a healthy economy.
A risk assessor combines site chemical data with the toxicological properties of the chemicals, site use and human receptor types, known or p
