Summary of Experience
Reviewed federal and state programs for
controlling toxic chemical discharges into the Hudson River;
assessed health and environmental risks of coal conversion technologies;
examined health risks of different energy conservation strategies;
examined effects of air pollution on agricultural production; examined
cancer risks of different pollutants and complex technologies; examined
process for selecting, constructing, and operating a geologic repository
for high-level radioactive wastes; developed tools and facility designs
for a chemical emergency response center at EPA; evaluated hazards from
drinking water contaminated by leachate from abandoned uranium
mill-tailing sites; compared hazards of low-level radioactive waste
disposal on land and in the ocean; examining health effects of toxic air
emissions from coal use; evaluating role of computer models in clean-up
of hazardous waste sites; examining environmental, health and safety
hazards associated with the production, use, and disposal of
photovoltaic modules.
