I am an ecotoxicologist by training and over a 15 year period have worked in industry (Shell Chemicals, UK) academia (School of Marine Science & Technology, University of Newcastle) and on the staff of the National Chemicals Inspectorate of Sweden (KEMI). I have published a number of peer reviewed scientific papers in the field of endocrine disrupting chemicals and act as consultant to the UK government on several of their work programmes. My role in Enviresearch is focused on human health hazard and risk assessment of pesticides, biocides and other chemicals, including exposure assessment and modelling.
