PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
Cofounder & Vice President International Institute of Bengal Basin

Consultant in Toxicology, Risk Management & Risk Assessment. Have reviewed data on an on-going basis, for three NPL & State Superfund sites, plus 15 other large industrially polluted sites. Have worked on PEAs, RIs, FSs & Risk Assessments at many other sites in 4 states. Have helped determine regulatory RfDs, RfCs & short term limits. Attend 2-4 overseas international meetings per year on the toxicology of Metals, Risk Management & Regulatory Toxicology. Have compiled & critically reviewed data for ATSDR, EPA, NAS, WHO, Canadian Health & Welfare, NASA, API, CMA, IHF, Chrome Coalition, Cadmium Council, American Chrome & Chemical, Allied Signal, U.S. Borax, FMC, WOGA, EPRI, INTEL & many others. Co-reviewed 2 NAS monographs & added to the contents of ATSDR, WHO, NIOSH, EPA, NAS & EPRI monographs. Have given many lectures on all aspects of Toxicology. Have served as an expert witness, for example, at California Prop. 65 hearings on arsenic (U.S. Borax), cadmium & chromium (FMC) and have evaluated and prepared pre-trial data.
