About this title

Synopsis

Ten papers from the September 1998 conference in Pellston, Michigan address different aspects of the ecological assessment paradigm. They discuss soil management, fate and transport of contaminants, and measures of bioavailability. Together the papers provide a unified framework representing all the steps of a complete risk assessment and the management of contaminated soils. The resulting summary should be useful to regulators and risk assessors. Contributors include scientists from North America and Europe. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

About the Author

Roman P. Lanno, PhD, is currently an Assistant Professor of Entomology at Ohio State University. Prior to that he was Associate Professor of Zoology and Director of the Ecotoxicology and Water Quality Research Laboratory at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK, USA. He received his PhD in 1991 from the Department of Biology at the University of Waterloo, Canada, and his master’s degree in 1984 from the Department of Nutrition at the University of Guelph, Canada.

Current research interests in his laboratory lie in applied and theoretical aspects of chemical exposure assessment and organismal effects assessment in various environmental media. Specifically, research in his laboratory examines the relationship between chemical and biological measures of bioavailability and toxicity endpoints such as lethality, growth, reproduction, or biomarkers. Studies include work with aquatic and terrestrial systems and both metals and organic chemicals. Researchers in his laboratory have developed and applied solid-phase extraction techniques as biomimetic or biological surrogates for estimating the bioavailability of organic chemicals and metals.

Dr. Lanno has been a member of the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) since 1988, serving as a member of the Editorial Board for the journal Environmental Toxicology & Chemistry and organizing and presenting short courses in Soil Ecotoxicology and Nutritional Considerations in Toxicity Testing.
